Hi all, Some time ago, I began thinking about how an IRC channel could help to devs and users of ArgoUML, but I did nothing, just blame about the lack of it.
Two days ago, when I was at the #gsoc channel at Freenode, I saw this on the channel: "You are going to have a better chance (and more visibility) with mentors over in your desired org(s)'s channels or mailing lists. Have a look around their website for info, use google search, or even just type /join #<org> as many projects have their channels on freenode." So I joined #argouml because maybe I could help another student. In the past two days, three students joined the channel, and I gave them some feedback about ArgoUML and how to fill their Summer of Code project proposals. Today, an ArgoUML user joined the channel asking for how he could merge different zargo projects into a zargo file. I told him that it can't be done yet, but I guided him about how to do it by hand, and he succeeded. Without any advertisement about the channel this people joined it, and gave/received feedback from the ArgoUML community. I think that IRC have a lot to say in OpenSource development and support, and this facts show what I think. So I just registered the #argouml channel at Freenode, and you (users and developers) are welcome for joining us. See you there! -- Regards, Christian López Espínola
