Over the years, new technical solutions for communication within the jDPG were continually added. All of this was managed with a great deal of effort by individuals who actually had other positions and responsibilities.

Due to stability issues with the old Cloud and the introduction of the Chat plattform , the decision was made to combine the collective knowledge into one team and, at the same time, give all jDPG members the opportunity to participate in the implementation.

What are we actually doing?

Our team currently consists of around five people, and our tasks are divided into several areas. In general, there is always close communication with the DPG office, for example to ensure that websites are forwarded correctly.

In order to use Chat and Cloud services, the DPG data protection form must be signed and submitted. This can be done easily via this link.

Participation

As you might imagine, communication takes place via our chat platform. If you don't have an account yet, you can set one up in 5 minutes. You'll find the information you need in the handout. If you have any questions, please contact Timo Marks. Contact
