[[!meta title="SIPB Zephyr Classes"]] Many SIPB members and prospectives [use zephyr](http://sipb-www.scripts.mit.edu/doc/wiki/UsingZephyr) to communicate about projects, discuss what's new (or old) in the computing world, and generally keep in touch. Here's a list of some zephyr classes you might be interested in subscribing to. *Note*: If you're new to zephyr or to any of these classes, you're encouraged to just listen to the class at first and get a feel for the class's typical modes of behavior. If you jump right in, you might risk accidentally offending someone. * **<sipb,\*,\*>** - The archetypal zephyr class for SIPB members and prospectives. Features general discussion about the SIPB, from brainstorming about projects to random bits of humor. It's considered polite to always use an instance when sending to **-c sipb**. *High traffic.* * **<sipb-door,\*,\*>** - Receives a zephyr whenever SIPB's office door opens or closes. Great way to keep track of whether the [[office]] is open or not. * **<sipb-auto,\*,\*>** - *High traffic.* Receives a variety of automatically generated zephyrs, including... * **<sipb-auto,sipbmp3,\*>** - Activity on [sipbmp3](http://http://sipb.mit.edu/sipbmp3/). *Usually high traffic.* * **<sipb-auto,sipb-door,\*>** - See **<sipb-door,\*,\*>** above. * **<sipb-auto,sipb-www,\*>** - Commit logs when changes are pushed to this website. * **<sipb-auto,backups,\*>** - Log messages from automated backups of the SIPB AFS cell. * **<sipb-auto,nagios.stuff.HTTP,\*>** - Alerts when SIPB's [stuff.mit.edu](http://stuff.mit.edu) server goes down. ## Classes for SIPB Projects In general, you should only sub to these classes *if and only if* you're interested in helping with a specific project. * **<scripts,\*,\*>** - If you're interested in getting involved with [Scripts](http://scripts.mit.edu/), subscribe here to see what the Scripts team does behind the scenes. *High traffic.* * **<barnowl,\*,\*>** - Discussion of [Barnowl](http://barnowl.mit.edu/), a zephyr client written and maintained by SIPB members. * **<debathena,\*,\*>** - Discussion of [Debathena](http://debathena.mit.edu/), a project designed to bring the functionality of Athena to your Debian or Ubuntu system. Debathena is also the basis of the next official version of Athena. *High traffic.* * **<dodona-discuss,\*,\*>** - Discussing the development and coding of [Dodona](http://dodona.scripts.mit.edu), a SIPB zephyrbot. * **<dodona,\*,\*>** - The "official" class for Dodona to run and give advice on. Currently *low traffic*, as Dodona rarely runs. * **<dodona-test,\*,\*>** - Class for trial runs of Dodona. *High traffic*. * **<clockworks,\*,\*>** - Discussion of [[clockworks|projects/clockworks]]. ## Other Useful Classes These are not actually SIPB-related classes, although many people affiliated with SIPB and/or IS&T listen to them. You should not send zephyrs to any of these classes unless you have a good reason. * **<consult,\*,\*>** - * **<filsrv,\*,\*>** - * **<3down,\*,\*>** -
