Digital infrastructure
In this section we will present the online spaces inhabited by the CommsLabs community. You can read digital infrastructure overview and specifications for a more detailed technical explanation and the section about roles to understand how the different people in CommsLabs get involved.
CommsLabs Spaces
File Space
On files.commslabs.org, the whole CommsLabs community can store and exchange files (such as travel documents, work templates, resources) safely, as well as work collaboratively on documents for movement organising.
From this platform, administrators can create and manage accounts.
The platform is based on an open source tool called Nextcloud and allows additional features.
Chat space
From more work oriented processes such as group channels for the Coordination Team, Activist Advisory Board and Facilitators to preparing and planning for CommsLabs, to making announcements during the event or just hanging out in the "off topic" channel getting to know each other, the Chat space (a.k.a Mattermost) is where everyone can communicate in a safe, secure and autonomous environment.
CommsLabs.org platform
CommsLabs.org website platform is a safe place for the CommsLabs community to access all relevant information, from the event schedule to principles of participation and orientation on logistics, safety and security. It is also a hub for connecting with the network of participants and facilitators.
