Other than specific meetings, I don't use IRC, and while I miss out on a lot of social interaction, I don't feel like my ability to participate in the project is particularly harmed by that. (I love you all, but I already have a huge problem with getting distracted by shiny discussions on the Internet rather than actually getting things done, so plugging into another giant source of shiny conversations with which I can distract myself seems like a bad move.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
