• You can use the logo shown in the community page as your profile picture

COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

Create a channel to communicate internally.

In order to communicate internally, we highly recommend you to create a Slack group. It is a free messaging app that helps organizing your team conversation and allows you to directly reach out to members.

You can also use other ways of communication, as long as you make sure people have easy access to join the conversation.

Have you created a channel? Great! Please fill in the link below so we can add it to the Resources section of the community page.

Only the core team of Oldenburg can add the communication channel

UNLEASH TTN Oldenburg

Congratulations! You have completed all the activities. It's time to kick-off The Things Network Oldenburg and become an official community!

We would like to invite you to organize a launch event which is open for anyone to join. An open event is a great way to attract new contributors to the community and provides an opportunity to involve local press which helps in spreading the story of The Things Network even further.

You can find some tips for organizing a great event here.

See the press release of TNW about The Things Network here.

We recommend you to use Meetup for organizing the event. Other platforms like Eventbrite or Facebook can also be used as long as you make sure people can easily find and sign up for the event.

Have you set a date and found a location? Please inform us about it because Wienke, Johan, Rish or Laurens would love to (virtually) join the event. Please keep us up to date by sending a message.

Only the core team of Oldenburg can set the launching event }}
