* [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space The main mailing list] hosted on Google groups. The space is pretty loosely organised with the majority of information being sent out via our mailing list. This has a fairly high through put (google says at least 20 emails a day) so if you're busy/easily distracted consider using the digest mode.  
* [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hackspace-announce The announce list]. Used only for weekly news announcements and event announcements. Intentionally very quiet, 0% noise.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space-infrastructure The infrastructure mailing list], less often used but a place for discussing projects to be carried out on the space itself (eg kitchen installation); much less used.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space The main mailing list]. Used for general communication and discussion between members. Extremely active, 30% noise.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space-infrastructure The infrastructure mailing list]. Used for discussion about modifications to the space itself. Quiet, 5% noise.
 
====IRC====
* [[IRC|IRC]]. As well as the mailing list there is a fairly lively (although at times NSFW) IRC chat room that is used for more general discussion, feel free to join in, members get ops (just ask).

====IRL====
* [[Weekly_meetings|Our Tuesday socials]] every Tuesday we have a social meet at the space from about 19:30. There is normally a large pizza order (currently £5 / person) for food, drink is BYOB (or buy donate to a beer-run). This is an excellent time to meet people and look about.
