After a short brain storm on the latest office hours, it was decided that it makes more sense for an open source project to use an IRC channel on freenode.
Pending objections (with arguments), we should make the move this week. Please reconfigure your IRC client and see if you can find it and join us there. Right now we registered #opensl only. A few servers you can choose from: irc.freenode.net irc.eu.freenode.net irc.au.freenode.net irc.us.freenode.net All of which should listen on at least port 6667. A detailed list of servers can be found here: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml About freenode. Most question should be answered in their FAQ ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml) for example for nick registration and cloaking your hostname if you so require. Note that one of the advantages that we get from this move (though by no mean the reason) is that freenode allows very long nick names, so that it becomes possible to use your full SL name as nick name if you wish. >From the FAQ: *What is freenode about? Why is it here? * freenode is a special-purpose, not a general-purpose, discussion network, currently implemented on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). It exists to support specific communities. It provides an interactive environment for coordination and support of peer-directed projects, including those relating to free software and open source. Our aim is to help our participants to improve their communicative and collaborative skills and to maintain a friendly, efficient environment for project coordination and technical support.
