The Software Underground Slack is one of the things that make this community so phenomenal. I hope you’re in there already, participating in the daily conversations. But did you know that there’s another step to becoming a voting member of the Software Underground?
If you’re interested in a friendly bunch of digital subsurface professionals who get pumped learning about data, dirt, or anything in between, and you want to help shape the digital revolution in subsurface, we’d love for you to take the next step and join the society. The good news is that it’s completely free.
So what does becoming a member mean?
When accepting the Terms and Conditions, you will help sustain a fair and friendly environment for everyone here in the Swung community. We’re united in our mission:
“To provide technical and professional development opportunities to the global community of earth scientists and engineers who program computers in the course of their work, and to promote the use of open source digital technology in the exploitation of natural resources and investigation of the earth.”
If you feel inspired about a change you want to make that can improve the Swung society, you can vote at a meeting of members. It’s inclusive for a reason, we want to hear your ideas! Only members can vote.
All events are posted in the #events channel on Slack to get a feel of our extracurriculars, but as a member you can be notified of membership related activities.
If you’d like more of the nitty gritty on membership, you can read the details in the Software Underground’s draft By-Law No.1. The first order of business at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 21 April will be to vote on adopting this by-law.
We hope you’ll sign up here and help propel us into the next chapter for Software Underground.
