IRC Regular Meeting

**jfrorie** · October 24th, 2007

I'm trying to solicit input on having a regular meetings via IRC. Discuss current Ubuntu topics, and other things of interest.

I'm thinking like 7pm to 8pm. Poll is for the day of the week. The thread is for meeting times and frequency.

Let me hear from you

I assumed NC was entirely EST.

I cast an any day but Sunday vote. Third Thursdays my LUG meets at 7:00 pm. (Wake Forest Univ, LUG's usual meeting place, blocks IRC)

markthecarp: may I reccomend you use a CGI IRC to connect when unable to normally. It basically runs off of a webserver and does not use your computer to make a connection directly to the IRC server.

Thanks Oni-Dracula, I hadn't thought of that. My previous method has been ssh to home; exporting a gui client is sluggish but cli clients are fine. The sluggish gui has to be on the home end as Wake's dl bandwidth is huge.
