Get engaged

A nice way to get engaged in a project is to find the Welcome to new project members, please introduce yourself Discussion Forum and create a Topic titled "About [Your First Name, Last Name, Title, Company] "  and write a little about yourself and why you joined the project.  All Collaboration projects have the Welcome to new project members Discussion Forum.  

Introducing yourself and reading about other members is a great way to get to know your other project members.  Here's how:

1. On the Discussions page for a project, click on the "Welcome to new project members" link.
2. Click  
3. Place your cursor where it says "New Page"  and input " About  [Your First Name, Last Name, Title, Company]
4. Move your cursor to the body of the page and tell the project team a bit about yourself.  Here is an example introduction post
5. Click the orange SAVE button when you are done  .
6. On the topic listing page posts the most recent post is listed first.  If a post made "sticky" it will always be listed first.
7. On the page tree posts are listed alphabetically.
