MEDLab is a dynamic community, and there is no one-size-fits-all way to be involved. The best way to find your place in MEDLab is to come to weekly meetings, discuss your work with the director, and get involved in at least one of our projects.
If you're looking for the more intellectual side of on-boarding, check out our [background readings](https://handbook.medlab.host/background_reading "background_reading").
Several times the instructions below refer to "an admin." This is most likely the MEDLab director, but it may also be someone else with administrative privileges in our systems.

## Collaboration tools
First, you'll need to get plugged into our self-managed collaboration tools. Learn more about our tools on the [Technology](https://handbook.medlab.host/technology "technology") page.

- Choose which rooms you want to join by pressing the compass button right under your name in the top-left of the web interface. Be sure you're in #general, as well as the rooms related to any projects you're part of or interested in.
### Git
Gitea is an open-source, relatively simple implementation of the Git version-control system. It is similar to the commerical platforms GitHub and GitLab but easier to self-host and manage. We use it to manage the lab's software projects and other documentation (such as this Handbook). It is a useful way to collaborate on things that are too complex for the office tools on Nextcloud.
If you're a MEDLab member, you can join the [MEDLab Contributors](https://git.medlab.host/org/MEDLab/teams/medlab_contributors) team, which gives you edit access to the main MEDLab repositories. If you need this access, let an admin know.
