 ==What is Slack==
 Slack is a chat client that allows us to chat with each other and engage with our community in real time and asynchronously.
 ==Why Slack?==
 While IRC has been a good choice in the past, Slack is more mobile friendly and integrates with the workflows of users who are using Slack for other projects, creating a more robust (and chatty) community. In addition, Slack scores high for accessibility, public familiarity, and adoption. The best news? You don’t have to give up IRC if you don’t want to! We’ve built a bridge from IRC to Slack so you can continue hanging out in #creativecommons if that’s where you feel most comfortable.

 * Regional channels will be formatted as follows: cc-region
