IRC channel

Hi All,

I noticed a while ago some people were talking about an IRC channel or (something similar). I think this would be a good idea, has anyone set anything up?

(regular) chat session

Hi,
is there a plan for a (regular) chat session?
I've been in IRC all day long but have not seen anybody.

Trickkiste

Lets start with a session tom

Lets start with a session tomorrow and there we will discuss and organize the regular sessions.

I think the most of JNode's developers are from europe. So i propose tomorrow at 17:00 GMT which for all the europe is from 17:00 to 19:00.

ps: Time offsets would be a problem for the regular sessions :| . We have developers also in China, India and USA as I know.

Did anyone go?

I for one leave work at 17:00 GMT, so by the time I had got home and eventually got onto the IRC channel it was empty except for me and one other person. He said he'd been around for 20 mins and seen no one. I noticed JPG set the topic at around 18:30 GMT, so did anyone turn up before 18:30 other than JPG? And if so was anything useful discussed?

If not I think if anything like this is attempted again then there should be a much longer period of notice before it occurs, as I for one could have made time to be there at 17:00 GMT had I known about it a few days sooner.

Errr

I went but no one was there so I thought I had the wrong channel . . . when/if you get it together make it a static part of the page.

Also can someone add these meta tags to fix that stupid cache problem with login and the back button, etc?

meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"
meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"

It disables the page caching (not the image caching).

It was just me until 18:30

I have setted the topic to test the registration of the channel. The channel was not registered in the oftc network, so I registered it.

Maybe the time period was to short to be noticed by others. I try to get in the irc channel as often as I can.

I am online now (Trickkiste is also there).

well ...

I was there at 17.20, but pretty alone. So i went for dinner.

Let's schedule a new one.

Session Summary / Transcript

Would be nice to have a summary of the chat session posted to the forum so that those who didn't had the time to participate can see if they missed something. Of course the summary only needs to contain only final results that affect others.

Maybe copy & pasting the transcript would also do.

and possibly australia :)

although i know i havn't done much while i've been working full time but i'm still keeping an eye on you guys!

I also would recommend an IRC

I also would recommend an IRC channel for development talks.
There could also be regular dev-meetings, that could give a faster way for desicions and faster information retrieval.

For the location I would suggest oftc, since many oss projects use it. If noone else is willing, I would setup #jnode. If later there are real devels or epr I would give them/him op.

So if it is desired, tell me, I'll set one up Eye-wink

JNode.org channel

Hi guys,

I've setup a "JNode.org" channel on irc.oftc.net.

Chatzilla

There is a plugin for mozilla called chatzilla. It is very nice and small. I am using it with Firefox.

How about this

Ewout,

If you can host java plugins, check out:

http://jchatirc.sourceforge.net/main.php3

Its a quite sweet Java IRC Client, you can also embed it in a site as an applet. I think it comes with a Java Server. Would be quite nice to embed in the site anyway.

What do you think?

I personally am using xchat w

I personally am using xchat which should be also available for Windows.

There are also some IM Clients having an IRC plugin, for example Miranda, Trillian afaik.

The most popular Windows IRC Client should be mirc.
