New unofficial resource announcement - IRC channels

2014-12-22 Thread Phil Wyett
Hi all,

As a user/developer who has lurked/participated on IRC since 2000 when
my eyes were truly opened to Free/OSS, I have found discussion on IRC to
be value to any project. This being the case, I have created two
unofficial channels on freenode for SL users and developers to make use
of.

Freenode: https://freenode.net

Channels:

#sl-users

Topic
=

Unofficial Scientific Linux user channel. Official website for
Scientific Linux: http://http://www.scientificlinux.org

Welcome message
===

[#sl-users] Welcome to the unofficial Scientific Linux users IRC
channel. This channel is for discussing use of Scientific Linux and
allows users to support each other.

#sl-devel

Topic
=

Unofficial Scientific Linux development channel. Official website for
Scientific Linux: http://http://www.scientificlinux.org

Welcome message
===

[#sl-devel] Welcome to the unofficial Scientific Linux development IRC
channel. This channel is for discussing development of/with Scientific
Linux.

The channels are logged thanks to: https://botbot.me/ Links to logs can
be access via their website directly or via the link supplied at the end
of the channel topic.

I am happy to add SL project developers as ops if they wish and as time
goes by I would expect to add others who show they are responsible.

Regards

Phil

As an FYI - there is already one #slforum

That's related to: http://scientificlinuxforum.org/

Its quiet enough as it is, I'm not sure we need more dilution ;)

Hi,

I am aware of #slforum and associated site.

I am not going to think of it as dilution, but something different that
with additions bring more people to SL. After the holiday period I hope
to add some elements that may make the channels more popular with users
and developers alike.

For example:

Have tutorial sessions by users on a specific SL related package or
activity. Spread the knowledge and allow users to help others and
promote their areas of interest.

Have debug sessions. Look at a package or activity that is causing one
or more SL users problems.

etc.

Ideas for other session types are always welcome.

Regards

Phil
