(NB 'TK' means that the Chat group is missing and must be either located or created.)
The goal of this list is to show the people in FairCoop all the active groups for discussing and collaborating together in various tasks.
You can join Telegram with your computer using the desktop version by installing it from [https://desktop.telegram.org](https://desktop.telegram.org)
or the web version at [https://web.telegram.org](https://web.telegram.org).
Also you can use an app on your smartphone. Be aware that Telegram is taking a copy of your adressbook to match contacts, unless you forbid Telegram to read the address book.
We started to mirror some chat groups to fairchat (based on Rocket.Chat) in fall 2017. There you can **read all messages without installing an app or logging in**. You can join with a fairlogin single-sign-on account. It also offers automatic language translation (right side bar). No attachments mirrored yet.

## 1) GENERAL
### FairCoop
Main group: **FairCoop** is the general group where all the members are discussing about FairCoop and many things related to it! A good place to publish news, proposals and news for everyone. 183 persons at July 2017. You can join the discussion about many different things connected with the FairCoop ecosystem.
Open Assemblies are every third Thursday of the month at 19.00 CET. This group is only active during assemblies. You can ask to join this group as above. 235 members in January 2018.
Specific group for monetary questions, to share all questions, experiences, and proposals connected to the relation between Faircoin and other currencies. Especially to discuss and learn how to make Faircoin interact with local and regional currencies and facilitate the role of offices of exchange within this multicurrency ecosystem.
For Welcome ACs. Not a group for newly-arrived members, that would be the Ask Us Anything one.

### Commons Management Area
Provide a collective way to manage and account for every common resource of the ecosystem. Each project (FreedomCoop, Getfaircoin and Local Nodes) who manages money, needs to account their own and bring to the common ecosystem accounting group, as also those which are taking care of payments (expenses) such as in Tech (hosting, domains etc), legal issues and elsewhere.
For news, and Faircoop's Media Center. We use this group for coordinating day to day tasks related to media and communication. This is only really active amongst people who have signed up to do something regularly in this area. We are always seeking new participants for the media teams!
Group for designers involved in image and branding of the whole FairCoop ecosystem. Would you like to help with this? You can also have a look at the forum discussions so far on developing a FairCoop style guide.
This is where most developers and day-to-day staff solve problems and decide on the details of tasks and communication work. We use the [forums](https://market.fair.coop/forum/questions-help-1) to discuss and debate with site users, and a [monthly assembly](https://market.fair.coop/forum/fairmarket-assemblies-7) as a decision-making body. Tasks agreed at these assemblies are passed to our [task board](http://beacon.somosazucar.org:6080/shared/5dFnjEcWQo-giVSVIM4NRkqoVCb8kJI72V7c8bvHy6H)(also on the currently down beacon site).
If you'd like to join in with the Fairmarket Telegram group you can ask it in the following group (Fairmarket Support), because there is no invitation link.
### Fairmarket Support
There you may get support about:
- Setting up a shop in FairMarket
- Manage your account or payments
- Get information about FairMarket's features
or even get an answer about any other question that might concern your regarding FairMarket.

### TECHNICAL
Tech discussion where some admins and programmers are to be found. To join please join the tech group on [https://fair.coop](https://fair.coop) and have a look at the history of this aspect. There is a Telegram group. Also, for technical questions we prefer you use IRC or the main FairCoop group. If you are really clever and have a suggestion or bug fix for one of our packages, we have a shared repo on GitHub, and we have a pad where you can volunteer resources or software evaluations to a shared pool:
The aim of this group is to have a place where all the local nodes can share experiences, request help... If you are interested in organising a local node, you can join this group and post to get help from other FairCoop nodes participants.
This group is related to the refugee Crowdfunding campaign and to refugee fund management. if you are interested in any action related to these topics or want to be updated about what is going on, just join.
Todo lo relacionado con la educacion y el conocimiento,también es dónde esta alojada [la biblioteca](https://fairkom.net/owncloud/index.php/s/HFeMLyro73aAQgx).
Para todxs lxs que quieran aprender o enseñar más sobre estos temas, de cara a entender mejor el mundo en el que se mueve el ecosistema FairCoop. Se trata de entender de enonomía para luego poder saber de qué depende la estabilidad del FC, su liquidez, el tipo de cambio.... y todas esas cosillas tan complicadas. A partir de ahora, vamos a intentar llegar entre todos a conclusiones que podamos transmitir a más gente, de forma que se reduzca el analfabetismo económico y financiero en el mundo.
