Intro
Hi! Welcome to Northeastern Electric Racing! We do a lot engineering - and so we have a lot of different methods for collaborating. It’s important for everyone to be clued in to these methods so that we can be successful!

Communication
Slack
Slack is our main method for communicating with all members - it’s very important that everyone is on Slack! If you’re not on Slack - see this page to get set up.
We have a bunch of channels so feel free to join any of them and look around! Here’s a list of a couple of essential channels for you to know about:
Channel | Description |
|---|---|
#general | Used for big announcements and important conversations - please keep it brief in this channel so it doesnt get cluttered! |
#random | Used for regular discussion about whatever you want. Feel free to say hi! |
#new_members | Introduce yourself here or ask any burning questions that you have about the club |
#s_xxxxx | Each system channel is denoted by a “s_” before its name. We’d advise that you only join system channels that you’re working with - that way you don’t get overwhelmed with notifications! |
#electrical/mechanical | These channels are for discusions related to the electrical or mechanical teams. |
Documentation
Confluence
You’re proabably reading this article on Confluence, if not - this page was made with it!
Confluence is what we use to centralize our long-term documentation. We have one page per system and system projects laid out within the system pages.
We currently have one confluence account per system. Members that are interested in accessing confluence should message their system head to get access to the account. This means that all members have access to the same editing privileges as system heads! So - please don’t make edits before asking a lead or head first!!!
