How to Join the Educators Working Group
...
To be a part of the Educators Working Group, you are encouraged to follow the discussion and keep an eye out for meetups, meetings & projects. Contribute as you are able, but there is no “minimum requirement” for being a member. Here is how to join Slack and the Open EdX Forum where Educators WG discussion happens.
Change notification settings to “All messages”.
Here is one way to do that from Slack on Desktop. And here are some alternatives depending on how you use Slack.
Create an account in the Open edX Forums and enable at least “Watching First Post” notifications for the Educators channel.

Communication Tools & Norms
...
Slack:
Slack is used for asynchronous discussion. It is more internal-facing than the discussion forum since membership requires an administrator’s approval. Slack tends to get faster responses, so it is considered the best in-group discussion area.
...
We use Github Projects to track tasks and responsibilities. The github project board allows us to assign tasks to users for follow-up, and track as tasks move from the creation phase to completion.
...
The wiki space is where we keep important public documentation like group rules and meeting notes. Anyone can view and edit these documents.
How we Make Decisions
By default, decisions are made by lazy consensus:
Lazy consensus means that when you are convinced that you know what the community would like to see happen, you can assume that you have consensus in favor of the proposed work and and get on with it. You don’t have to insist people discuss and/or approve your plan, and you certainly don’t need to call a vote to get approval. You just assume you have the community’s support unless someone says otherwise.
Lazy consensus works only if you communicate with enough advance notice, and with enough details that people who would object have the time and the necessary information to do so. Generally speaking, it’s better to over-communicate.
