IRC Channel #613

Closed hamiltont closed 10 years ago

hamiltont commented 10 years ago

Not a bug, but wondering if someone at TechEmpower could maintain an IRC channel? This might be useful for quick discussions

If there is already one please close this and let me know! :-)

hamiltont commented 10 years ago

I'd propose either #techempower-fwbm or #fwbm on Freenode. I'm going to go ahead and join those, anyone else is welcome

bhauer commented 10 years ago

@hamiltont This is a good idea and I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier. I'm not a Freenode regular, but I'll see if I can get my IRC client to connect.

hamiltont commented 10 years ago

Cool, I'm hanging out in #techempower-fwbm as hamiltont. I've setup my client to never leave the channel, so feel free to drop me a hi at some point :)

I'd love to have any forum to communicate more quickly and in a more ad hoc manner - if you guys would prefer something like a google group I'd be interested in that as well, and email might be more familiar to many people.

Let me know if you have people that want to be ops.

@hamiltont There is a Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/framework-benchmarks

I'm able to connect using the Freenode webchat UI, but I can't yet get my IRC client to connect.

@aschneider-techempower Could you enable the GitHub IRC service? It would be nice to have and costs us nothing, besides 5 minutes of setup time!

I'm searching free open IRC logging service, but not found. Slack is better than IRC, maybe.

hamiltont commented 10 years ago

What do you think of botbot.me ? I've seen a few channels using it

I mostly vote for IRC because it's established

methane commented 10 years ago

Great!

We are messing with the GitHub IRC service at the moment; is there a specific reason for having this?

Currently, we are using the IRC setup that @hamiltont suggested (freenode, #techempower-fwbm), and as far as I can tell the IRC service that GitHub provides simply announces events (as a bot) in a given IRC channel.
