RE: [U2] Freenode #ibmu2 ?
As I recall in our discussions long long ago that this email list was the preferred medium because several of our list members are restricted by their companies and are not allowed to access the web to participate in online forums. I for one am quite content with the present mailing list format so that all members are able to participate.

Ron White --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ I am not saying at all that the mailing list should change. I am proposing this as an additional medium for ppl who do use irc. IBM and my erp var Activant are starting to communicate with apps such as Facebook and Twitter. I know that I would lurk a #ibmu2 room. It is really nice to be able to bounced ideas in realtime, or just hang out when time permits. I get really good support for some of my other project from irc. I talk directly with interested parties and devs, learning more from other peoples questions. You also get to know the participants a little more since you can guage their sense of humor and personality in a conversation better than you can in an email. I would use and contribute to this daily. Steve --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

I have also tweeted the ibm crowd @IBMU2, but whether it is an official ibm channel, or a user group community, is not of my concern. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Freenode #ibmu2 ?
It's not an online forum. It's an IRC channel. I'd be willing to help if there's interest. There's an unofficial ##pick if interested, but only a couple of pickies hang out there. If you want to get a normal channel on Freenode then you'd need to apply and get representation from IBM in order to form an official channel. Otherwise you can just create ##ibmu2 or ##ibmu2ug and skip the whole official thing. The main benefit to registering with Freenode is that group members can apply for host cloaks that show up when you identify you user/password in IRC. They can say something like member/u2ug or committee/u2ug instead of your PC's IP address or hostname when you do a /whois on a person. Stop by http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml for more information. You can also ask the staff specific question in #freenode. Make sure you read the page before you ask, because most channel operators and helpers don't like having to spoon feed answers that are already online.
