[FreeGeek] registered IRC channel #freegeek irc.indymedia.org

[ifny]

ok so thereʻs an IRC salon that never has last call...itʻs byob though :P

feel free to poke your head in anytime:

room is #freegeek
channel is irc.indymedia.org
you can use port 6667, or 994 to be secure with SSL

itʻs a great place to hash out ideas, play Q&A in realtime, or just
hang out & get to know one another. during the last called IRC meeting
nov 8, it was decided that no binding decisions should ever be made in
IRC (no, the irony was not lost on the participants). at any rate, it
would be dang impossible since consensus lies beyond the abilities of
IRC.

If youʻve never used it before, IRC (internet chat relay) has a lot in
common with other chat software you may have used (yahoo / m$n
messenger, jabber, gmail chat, etc). There are 2 ways you can join the
conversation:

The simplest way is to go to http://chat.indymedia.org
For "Nickname:" type in any nickname you like.
For "Extra channels (',' separated): type #freegeek
Look below that & you'll see that #Indymedia is selected by default.
Click it to deselect it.
Click the "Chat!" button. you're in! Type & hit enter when you wanna send.

The other way to join is to install an irc client & connect through
that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat#Clients

if anyone needs help getting up & running, email me, david or scott.
