Description

Change the descriptions for the default channels both on the Community Guidelines and the Slack channels.

Current:

Channel Description Contact
#ask-the-team Talk with the board, staff, and project leaders about anything related to Prog Code’s mission or strategy. @rapi
#dumpster-fire A free-for-all, no holds barred fight on the state of politics. Burn tires, spew negativities, then after let's work on empowering the grassroots. @danomedo
#general-chit-chat A place for non-work-related flimflam, faffing, hodge-podge or jibber-jabber you'd prefer to keep out of more focused work-related channels. @rapi
#introduction Introduce yourself to the community! @joepbreslin
#jobs-and-vols Solicit and seek opportunities, both volunteer and paid @vigie
#pitch-zone Feel free to pitch any ideas to the community! @rapi
#call-to-action Fundraisers and call to actions. Reachout to the community to effect change outside @woobietuesday

Benefit

The descriptions are outdated and has caused confusion to some members.

Plan

  1. Have a consent to continue
  2. Get the community to vote (3 day network vote)
  3. On Thursday, change the Channel descriptions

Should we open this up to the broader discussion of channels that have been created by volunteer staffers to discuss ProgCode issues? Ex. #community-vote, #discussion, etc?

If I should start a new ticket, I'm happy to, but I propose we 1) create a list of channels that match this description, 2) update descriptions, 3) consider consolidating/archiving channels if we feel any are redundant / irrelevant, and 4) think about whether we should reflect this information on the ProgCode Channel List
