[[!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 general class for SIPB members and prospectives. General discussion.  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,\*>** - 
  * **<sipb-auto,nagios.stuff.HTTP,\*>** - 

## 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.*

## Other Useful Classes

These are not SIPB-related classes, although many people affiliated
with SIPB and/or IS&T listen to them.  In general, you should not send zephyrs to
any of these classes.

* **<consult,\*,\*>**

* **<filsrv,\*,\*>**

* **<3down,\*,\*>**
