Hello,
Im not sure if this is discussed elsewhere (couldnt find it), or if it exists, but is there an official IRC channel for clearos/foundation?
Would be nice to get involved there, makes a big difference to support / community
Many thanks,
James

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 ;-) -

Folks,
We need to pick a channel and use it, I don't think having 4+ channels is going to get this moving...
I would rather see 1 channel with 4people on it than 4 channels with 1 person each...yes? no?
I'm always logged on but not necessary at the keyboard all the time.
You guys should look into using screen + irssi for your IRC usage, thats what I use. I login to my homeserver (through ssh) start a screen session then start irssi. Once irssi starts I connect to all the channels that I usually hang around to ask questions and help.
IF you are a system admin I don't see how you can not know about screen...but if you didn't know about it now you do! go google it!.
From the screen info page:
Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. Each virtual terminal provides the functions of the DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets)
It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do its great! I dreaded working from hotel wifis or other free services because I would have a ssh session to my home server (i jumped from there to other servers) and while I was waiting for some command to finish the connection would die...ARGH! or suddenly having to leave but I can't cause that rsync is still 70% from finishing... ENTER screen, now i ssh to server start screen and create as many sessions inside it and work from there, if the connection dies screen does not! since its tool running on the home server its stays up and continues to do what ever tasks I had going on. If I need to leave I just un-attach from the session and log out of server, screen stays up and connected to wherever i was to.
Haha I completely sidetracked the thread... -

Sorry to revive a dead thread but I think an IRC channel would be a great idea. No one needs to know how to use IRC when you plop a Java client on the site... or in webconfig...
I've been using and operating IRC every day since I was a wee lad and I've been using ClarkConnect/ClearOS in a professional capacity for five years, would be willing to volunteer my experience. -

I think this is actually something most people expect from an open source project.
It doesn't have to be official but it should be something that is implemented.
Usually, Freenode is where open source projects hang out...so if one were to form or be registered, I'd say it would need to be there.
I went to #clearos on freenode and there are actually some people hanging out in there...not sure if it is the right clearos though :/ -

You can ask your self the question is it necessary that there is always a core member online. I think it is ok when a core member login from time to time to see what's going on in the community. I think it should be a official community irc channel where the community can talk about ClearOS and help each other. It should not be a official Clearfoundation help channel. I think Clearfoundation already uses other ways for official support. Also i think the Core member are already busy enough with developing ClearOS. -

Hi James,
I too has been looking for an IRC channel for ClearOS. There's this, irc://quakenet/clarkconnect registered during CC days but no one hangs around.
I also sent Peter, Ben and David (ClearOS moderators) if they can register a channel for the community in the Freenode Server. Peter sent a response saying in order to register one in Freenode, someone must be around to manage it (and maybe no one is). Definitely they have plans to put up an IRC hopefully in the near future.
Maybe if there's a higher demand there will be a supply. -
