# Quick Start: Accounts needed {#quickstart-accounts}

1.  My TYPO3 ([https://my.typo3.org](https://my.typo3.org))

    Vital account! Acts as a Single Sign On (SSO) provider for
    several other services. See [sign up for a TYPO3.org account](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3contribute:typo3account).
1.  Gerrit ([https://review.typo3.org](https://review.typo3.org))

    The code review system that is used for your code contributions.
    There, all patches are commented and voted/approved/rejected.

    First login via the `My TYPO3` SSO account. Afterwards you need to upload
    your SSH public key here. See [Setting up Gerrit (ssh)](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3contribute:gerritaccount).
1.  Forge ([https://forge.typo3.org/](https://forge.typo3.org/))

    The issue tracking platform (Redmine) where bugs and feature
    requests are reported. Every patch in Gerrit needs to have
    a corresponding issue.

    You login here via the `My TYPO3` SSO account.
1.  Slack ([https://typo3.slack.com/](https://typo3.slack.com/))

    The chat platform where developers get in touch with each other.
    The channel `#typo3-cms-coredev` is important.

    You need to register an account for Slack, see [https://typo3.org/community/meet/chat-slack/](https://typo3.org/community/meet/chat-slack/)
    and [Slack](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3contribute:slack-account).
