Debian Forums IRC

[Mez]

For anyone who's interested, I've created an IRC room for the Debian Forums.

Server: irc.oftc.net
Channel: #debian-forums

Not much happening there. Where are you, Debianoids?

from what i know: install an IRC-client, for example xchat, and add the info given by Mez above. voila.
some usefull infos, it`s merely a short intro, are to be found in oswaldkelsos beginners guide. near to the bottom.
(i couldn`t squeeze out one bit of info from IRC so far, but that might be me)

I set up my irc client back when mez first posted. (google was my friend because I didn't know either.) for the first couple of weeks there was no traffic or information so I stopped logging in. I'll go back now and see what's there.

[sickie]

Sadly, nothing's there.

This is a nice addition, thank you. Btw, most people hang out in #debian.

OK, I'm back online using pidgin. It shows that besides me Mez and penpen are also on line.

A bit off-topic... I sometimes like to setup phpfreechat, for people to chat in an IRC-like environment through their browser, rather than asking people not familiar with IRC, to install and configure an IRC client.

That is a good idea. A irc webchat link on the main forum page. For those that are too impatient to wait for help on the forum.

I have no problems actually debian is great.
But i did go to the irc channel but nobody has been there for a long time i guess..
anyway its nice to know its there. and i will go back every so often just to see if anyone wants to chat.

Debian IRC Chat Wiki here.
IRC Chat Wikipedia page here.
Basically chat-rooms for nerds (and others) using a specific lightweight chat program, i.e. xchat (actual repository packagename).
