I think this is something that was briefly touched on a long while back, but I notice that unlike many other active & vibrant FLOSS projects, ClearOS/ClearFoundation lacks an active IRC channel (despite FreeNode #ClearFoundation being listed online - bit all it has are tumbleweeds blowing through).

Does anyone know what the status is of this?

I strongly believe that it's an essential part of any strong FLOSS project & I'd dearly like to collaborate & participate with others in the Clear community in such a forum.

    Hi!

    The IRC chatroom is now logged:
    http://irc.tiki.org/irclogger_logs/clearfoundation

    And searchable:
    http://irc.tiki.org/irclogger_log_search/clearfoundation

    This will help with continuity and motivate people.

    If / when desired, we can move this data to the Clear Foundation servers, but in the mean time, it's a simple thing for the Tiki Association to provide.

    Best regards,

    M ;-)

    My familiarity with IRC is mostly as an end-user.

    This should do the trick: http://www.ehow.com/how_8718003_change-irc-bots-greet-message.html

    I'll be there on most Fridays. I'm not sure about that channel header thing... not an IRC guy.

    Dropped in on Friday & Sat-morning - I'll try & do so every week if possible to at least create some sort of presence.
    Can we please update the channel header to indicate these expected presence times?

    Dunno how many turned up. I missed seeing the announcement.

    Just wondered if you could make it a regular say first friday of each month.

    Might kick start active participation ?

    I'll be there tomorrow in the IRC. I expect that people will be able to ask questions about development. Ask troubleshooting and best practices. Talk with us about the timeline for modules and releases. We are a pretty open group when it comes to what we are doing.

    Friday is the day we typically meet on the a conference call for development purposes. Perhaps we will work in a way to have this be a conferencing bridge for those who want to talk as well. We often work on pushing through things in the build system and coordinating things that cannot be accomplished by a single individual. The community is welcome to join this process.

    @Jaco, Mike (CEO of ClearCenter) is in NZ as well so we feel your pain.

    I'm based in NZ (as is the Foundation), but many/most participants will quite likely be based elsewhere; either US or Europe.

    Friday-evening in the US is usually a Saturday-morning in NZ.

    In an internal context, what would we expect participation to be like for said date/time?

    Thanks Peter,
    That'll be great.

    Can you please update the #clearfoundation and/or #clearos channels headers to indicate this, and possibly a tweet/post, so that we can try & attract some other participants too?
