## Where it all happens

Everything takes place on our **Friends of HEK Discord server**. That’s where we chat, vote, share proposals, and develop projects together — in channels organised by topic.

If you’ve never used Discord before, don’t worry.\
Here’s a beginner’s guide to help you get started:\

And if you’d prefer a quick walkthrough, we’re happy to help.\
Just email us at **<friends@hek.ch>**, and we’ll set up a short call to show you around.
