Akademy/2015/Volunteers

To sign up as a volunteer, head down to #Sign up to Volunteer!

Handy information for volunteers

• /Timetable
• Akademy general landline: +34 881 01 1369
• Team room extension (for internal calls): 1369
• Telegram group: https://telegram.me/joinchat/00098b7d017a08fba71e9f02e4925c3b

Please consider the Telegram group a high-priority channel and avoid using it for non prioritaire work. There are other channels (IRC, email, wiki) for those. In spirit of that priority, we encourage our volunteers to keep that group with sound/vibration on, so that hi-prio things get priority ;)
