- Our Tech group on [Loomio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loomio). *(Join our main Loomio group [here](https://www.loomio.org/socialcoop/), then ask to join the tech group [here](https://www.loomio.org/g/Mtb0FrvX/social-coop-tech-working-group), it should also be visible in the side-bar when you're on our main group)*
- Join one of our meetings which should be listed on the [Calendar](platforms/Calendars).
- Look at the group's [running notes](https://doc.anagora.org/social-coop-tech-group) document which records meeting discussion which also get posted to [Loomio](https://www.loomio.com/d/UwAeiBgE/tech-meeting-minutes)
- Our GitLab group on git.coop. *(If you're reading this you've probably done this already, but if not see [here](Getting-a-social.coop-GitLab-project-account))*
- Our [matrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(communication_protocol)) chat channels on [riot.im](https://about.riot.im/what-is-riot/):
- The [public social.coop channel](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#SocialCoop:matrix.org)*(for general chat, but I suggest we use it as a rendezvous point when we notice an issue we need to coordinate on, this way everyone on the channel can check the situation)*
- The [private, encrypted tech group](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#tech.social.coop:matrix.org), for stuff we don't really want to discuss in the open *(note, messages posted before you join will not be readable, and there may be warnings about unverified devices, these are to be expected)*
- The [public social.coop channel](https://matrix.to/#/#SocialCoop:matrix.org)*(for general chat, but I suggest we use it as a rendezvous point when we notice an issue we need to coordinate on, this way everyone on the channel can check the situation)*
- The [socialcoop-tech](https://matrix.to/#/#socialcoop-tech:matrix.org) for technology specific discussion.
- There *was* a [private, encrypted tech group](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#tech.social.coop:matrix.org) as well, but as of March 2023 it doesn't seem to be active. It's hard to tell because it is invite only.
## Passwords and other secrets!
We are currently devising a way to share log-ins and passwords, etc. for services we use which can't or won't allow a per-user log-in. The information is (or will) go in the [keyringer project](/social.coop/tech/keyringer) here in our GitLab group. Maintaining all these different log-ins is a bit of a headache, we'd like to have something unified but currently don't.
See the our [pass](https://git.coop/social.coop/tech/pass) repository for details about how our passwords and other secrets are managed. We use the [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/) utility to manage them in git.
