## Channels

If you are new to Slack then you should be aware of the concept of channels. Channels are a good way to keep conversations under the :umbrella: of a specific topic or context. Channels appear on the upper left side bar of the Slack UI.

Channel topics can be specific to the Python packages you :heart: like [#django](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C0LMFRMB5), [#flask](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C0LN2AD7T"), [#sqlalchemy](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C1PB8ME48), etc. We also have channels that are for learning like [#help](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C07EFMZ1N) and [#learning_python](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C07EW4DNE).

## Self promotion and shameless plugs

To help prevent spam, and a wall of text in [#general](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C07EFBK3R) and other very active channels, we have [#shameless_plug](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C3GFPUBGF) to talk about your product, showcase it, ask for advice, or to ask people to try it out. These posts should only be in this channel and hence are not desired in other channels. We want to keep this a friendly place and we thought a channel dedicated to showcasing your work would work best.

## Taco Bot :taco:

When people in our community do good things we like to reward them with a :taco:! We are hoping that as B.F. Skinner used bird food with pigeons we can do the same with humans and tacos. This is positive reinforcement at its best (coders playing with psychology, what can go wrong?).

If someone has done something worthy of a taco all you have to do is mention them and follow it with the taco emoji.

## Spam

We welcome people sharing what they are working on and asking for feedback, however - we have an expectation that you contribute to the community before asking for anything in return. Since we are an open community with a lot of members, we get spam from time-to-time. Usually this is clear by someone fresh to the community posting a self-promoting link that either requires payment or is survey immediately in [#general](https://pythondev.slack.com/messages/C07EFBK3R).

Moderators will delete these types of posts and gently ask you to spend some time introducing yourself and contributing to the community :)
