Chapter 6 Cloud-SPAN Online Forum

There are two main places where you’ll find the Cloud-SPAN community: GitHub and Peerboard.

To read more about how you can interact with us on GitHub, take a look at our Ways to Contribute and our GitHub Contribution Guide.

For most questions and conversations, however, you’ll probably want to use our Peerboard forum. Here you can ask questions, pick people’s brains and share any insights you’ve gained during or after one of our courses. But the forum isn’t just for problems. We’d also love to hear about your achievements and successful applications of what you’ve learned!
