# Future Forge Slack

## Slack Chat

A very good way to get in touch with other FF members and officers is through the use of a program called [Slack](https://wiki.thefutureforge.org/operation-information/www.slack.com). Slack is a channel-based messaging platform. We currently use it at the Forge to communicate with members, relay messages and announcements and check-in with our fellow members!

## Slack Calls

Do you need to get in touch with a FF member immediately! Use Slack to call them on their phone (assuming they have Slack on their phone).

## Get Access to it

If you are a member at the Future Forge, you should have gotten an email inviting you to join our community slack. If you have not gotten the invite, please send an email to <admin@thefutureforge.org> requesting an invite.

## Channels

Currently we have several channels setup on our Slack. Different channels are for different subjects/ forms of discussion. Here is a list of a few of the channels we have:

* \#announcements - for upcoming announcements from forge directors in regards to meetings and events
* \#ourspace - for updates and discussion about the physical location of the Forge
* \#funstuff - offtopic chatting&#x20;
* \#meetingnotes - notes about recent meetings
* \#toolrequests - members requesting certain tools to increase the tools of the space!

## How to use it?

Simply download the program on either mobile or computer, and slick the invite link that was sent. It will allow you to create a profile and join the default channels. If you want to join other channels that are not the default, look at the left side of the program and click the + sign next to where it says "Channels" and click "browse channels".

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.thefutureforge.org/operation-information/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
