Participating via Chat
Learn about how to participate via Telegram chat "tents" for light coordination and just-in-time collaboration.
Coordination “Tents”
EndPandemics is lightly organized. We have different chat / messaging channels (aka “tents”). Each of the tents gives us a way to find the current focus and to coordinate with fellow alliance participants in real time. We strive to post a message at the top of the chat with our evolving timeline and focus as illustrated in the image below.
