Teams
- See also: Volunteering
The hackspace has a number of small, self-governing teams that maintain particular areas. All teams have a channel in the team slack where they work. If you are interested in joining a team, come and join us in slack (http://slack.nottinghack.org.uk). Please note, however, that slack is not a way for you to ask for things to be done - it's purely for teams to organise between themselves.
All teams in the Hackspace are ultimately responsible to the Trustees who have delegated certain powers and responsibilities to the teams. Each team has a trustee contact who they can go to with any questions or concerns that they might have. All teams can of course email [trustees@nottinghack.org.uk] as normal, but may find that emailing an individual trustee gets a faster response.
There are a range of Team Tools and Resources available for teams to work productively.
