Dear all, I was looking at Oliver Propst's mail about being in the meeting. I was trying to figure out how to connect to IRC and saw that there doesn't seem to be a direct way to figure out how to connect for IRC.
To make it more clear, If one just uses email link shared by Oliver, one goes to https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/engagement-team-meetings which didn't tell the server or the way to connect. I had to look into https://wiki.gnome.org/action/login/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC via search-engine which should be linked to IMHO by default . Also some info. in https://wiki.gnome.org/action/login/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC is missing. For instance I use riot-web and actually wrote an article about it some days back - https://itsfoss.com/riot-desktop/ Anyways, the recipe to join via riot-desktop is/should be - /join #_gimpnet_#engagement:matrix.org I tried it out and yes it works, the only thing which doesn't seem to work is that the #engagement list doesn't seem to use the backup logging feature/irc bouncer feature which people love riot-web for. I tried to edit the info. but the page is locked and is probably open to only few users so whoever has the rights, please add the needful . Some more info. - I was looking to find info. on gimpnet and at least from mibbit.com it seems to be running an EOLed ircd server, at least according to mibbit.com https://search.mibbit.com/networks/GIMPnet https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/FAQ#What_is_the_current_version_and_when_will_next_version_be_released.3F the irc bridge doesn't show much info. so don't really know. http://paste.debian.net/1026060/ I also saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnrealIRCd to get some idea of the history of the project. Look forward to know if somebody has more details. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
