channels
when you sign in to Slack for the first time.#general
is for general purpose discussions relevant to CC.#cc-announcements
is reserved for important announcements from CC
staff.We don't use IRC much, but if you'd like, you can join the
#creativecommons-dev
channel on Freenode. This
channel is mirrored to the #cc-developers

posted on Slack show up on IRC and vice-versa.
If you're not familiar with IRC, here's a good guide to getting started. You can also join using the Freenode webchat.
