+Here are some important information for newcomers and old timers alike:
+
+## Slack
+
+You should register on the lab's messaging platform:
+
+http://mistlab.slack.com
+
+Every Monday before 12:00 you should send a report on what you have done
+the week before, and what you plan to do during the week. This should be
+sent to the #reports channel on slack. Please follow the template that all the
+other students are using (you can copy from it from #reports).
+
+## Meetings
+
+Every two weeks we will have a lab meeting, where one student will
+present his or her research in rotation. You should attend and provide feedback 
+and questions. Slack will send a reminder on the #general channel.
+
+## Website
+
+You should provide a three files for the lab's website: a Markdown file
+where you introduce yourself, a person.ini file with your contact data,
+and a landscape picture of yourself. Please look at the enclosed examples and
+take a look at mistlab.ca to see what other students have done.
+
+## Notebooks
+
+I love Python notebooks. Whenever you want to share your results, I'd
+like you to do it using notebooks. You will eventually be able to use
+http://jupyter.mistlab.ca for a standard Python3.5 installation of 
+JupyterHub if you like
