Gmail

Getting nice email signatures

1. In Gmail Settings > General scroll down to signature:

1. Make the first line your name, e.g. Tom Rogers (he/him)
2. Make the second line your role, include any additional information you like on subsequent lines (socials, etc.)
3. Choose Insert image and then Web Address (URL) and enter https://storage.googleapis.com/sourcegraph-assets/Sourcegraph_Logo_FullColor_light.png then choose Small size after it has been entered.
4. Click the image, then click Link and paste https://sourcegraph.com into the Web Address field. Now your image links to the website!
5. Your signature should now look something like the one above, and clicking the Sourcegraph logo should bring you to sourcegraph.com.
6. Many teammates also add 'Meet Cody, your coding AI assistant | We're hiring!' into their signature below the Sourcegraph logo.
7. Update the "Signature defaults" options to match your preferences for using your signature on new emails and on reply/forward.

Google Calendar

• Add your working hours to Google Calendar so your teammates know when it is safe to add meetings to your calendar.
• Add any local holidays you observe to your calendar so people know you're not working.
• Under Event Settings, change the default guest permissions to "Modify event" (this makes it easy for teammates to reschedule when necessary).
  • Consider enabling "Speedy meetings" to build in a 5- or 10-minute break at the end of meetings.
