Administrative Tasks

  • Send a signed copy of the consultant agreement if it has not already been submitted.
  • Ensure you have access to your Saeloun email account.
  • Email Sonam with your bank account details and PAN information.

GitHub Setup

Once your GitHub account is added to the Saeloun GitHub organization, you may receive many notification emails.

We recommend reviewing GitHub notification settings to control email notifications.

Additional steps:

  • Add a real profile photo on GitHub.
  • Update your display name using the format: John Smith.
  • Capitalize each word and separate them with a space.
  • Update your GitHub profile to include Company: @saeloun.

This makes the company name clickable.

Add your information and profile photo to the company website repository on GitHub and submit a pull request to Sonam.

Slack Setup

Ensure that you:

  • Log in to the Saeloun Slack workspace.
  • Update your Slack email to your Saeloun email address.
  • Upload your real profile picture.
  • Join all available Slack channels initially to understand team discussions.

After becoming familiar with channels, you may leave channels that are not relevant to your work.

Professional Profiles

Update your professional profiles to reflect your role at Saeloun:

This helps maintain transparency with clients and the developer community.
