IBM Learning Platform

Description

Hi

I registered for the "Learning COBOL Programming with VSCode" course with IBM (https://learn.ibm.com/course/view.php?id=7552) , and I followed the registration steps to get my mainframe credentials as detailed in the module 1 lab.

I received in my "COBOL Programming with VSCode Labs Confirmation" email but the OpenMainframeProject slack channel sign up doesn't accept my email address and doesn't offer an option to use it when signing up to the slack channel., see attachment.

I have sent emails to zskills.at.us.ibm.com because there is no contact details for the Slack administrator, or maybe I missed it out?

How do I get register with the "OpenMainframeProject slack channel" ?

Reproduction Steps

1. Register for the "Learning COBOL Programming with VSCode" course with IBM with a private email address src:
2. Receive registration confirmation email with mainframe server details and userID, no password
3. Go to https://slack.openmainframeproject.org/
4. Try to sign up with personal email(no gmail or apple id) address ...

Additional Context

I tried to sign up with my Apple email address, it didn't work out.

Hi, sorry for the trouble.

I'll see if I can reach out to someone within IBM to fix the link. Meanwhile, this should work: https://slack.openmainframeproject.org/

If that still doesn't work, try this: https://join.slack.com/t/openmainframeproject/shared_invite/zt-1gkhwtzsx-EZuJXgu05N67AWyalJJq_A

Let me know if both of them doesn't work.

Thanks!

@tanto29 Thanks for your help! I am in now.

No worries.

The first URL is the one I can't use with my private email, but the second link worked like a charm.

Thanks for your assistance!
