# ZCP Community

## Join the community

The [ZCP Community page](https://zcp.zsoftly.ca/community) is the stable starting point for the community. From there, you can join the public ZCP Community on Slack, a third-party service for developers, cloud engineers, platform teams, and people evaluating sovereign cloud infrastructure.

The community is a place to ask questions, compare implementation notes, share projects, discuss the ZCP platform and its open-source foundation, and provide product feedback. It is separate from the internal ZSoftly Slack workspace.

## Posting rules

- Be respectful, specific, and constructive.
- Share enough context for others to understand the question, without exposing private data.
- Keep support questions and public discussion in the appropriate channel.
- Do not post passwords, credentials, API keys, customer information, billing information, private IP addresses, security vulnerabilities, or confidential infrastructure details.
- Report suspected security issues through the official security contact process, not in a public channel.

## Community discussion and official support

Slack is for community discussion. It is not an official support ticketing system and community conversations do not provide ZCP support guarantees. For account-specific support, billing, service incidents, or private technical matters, use the [ZCP portal](https://cloud.zcp.zsoftly.ca/) or the official support process for your account.

## Third-party service and sovereignty notice

Slack is a third-party service and is not operated by ZSoftly. The community workspace is separate from ZCP customer infrastructure. Slack content must not be described as Canadian-resident, sovereign ZCP data, or confidential customer data. Do not share information that requires those protections in community channels.
