# Collaboration Tools

The following pages present a number of key collaboration tools that are being used in the community, how you can get access to them and use them correctly. Since we are a distributed network, many local teams use a variety of different tools. The ones explained here **are the tools that are used across the entire network**.

## A brief overview of our key **tools**

* **Slack** - internal discussions, replacing most emails
* **Loomio** - Discussions, Debate & Decisions Making
* **Trello** - Project management &#x20;
* **Cobudget**  - Collaborative Funding&#x20;
* **Google Drive** - File Storage
* **Dropbox** - file storage for admininistrative documents
* **Mindmeister** - Knowledge mapping
* **Telegram** - informal discussions (both topic and non-work related)
* **Calenders** - OuiShare events & internal meetings
