Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Should we schedule another IRC practice time?

Scott, Thanks for the question. One thing I want to bring up for clarity's sake is that IRC is used for two separate things in our community, just like in other open source project communities. First of all it is used as an always-on communication channel, but as well as a platform to hold

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Should we schedule another IRC practice time?

I hear and understand Scott’s comments and they are worth considering. We can tend to get stuck in ruts and never bother looking outside. At the same time, I would like to second Chris’ comments. The publicly logged and web-searchable aspect is critical. Being able to find that one conversation

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Should we schedule another IRC practice time?

I’ll chime in, too, as a relative newcomer - IRC was completely new to me three years ago, but I found it easy to learn the more “advanced” ins-and-outs (because there’s really nothing to learn when all you want to do is ask a question) . I like being able to hop on using any browser or

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Should we schedule another IRC practice time?

A couple of pro-IRC points to consider as well: - conversations are publicly logged and web-searchable - despite the apparent intimidation factor for new users (mitigated by sessions like Yamil so generously offers), it's a low point of entry - can accommodate hundreds (or thousands) of users who

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Should we schedule another IRC practice time?

It's a reasonable question and one we should continue to evaluate over time. One reason we did not always like products like gotomeeting, etc. was cost. While community volunteers could grant access to their organizations resources, the community itself never decided to spend money on platforms.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Should we schedule another IRC practice time?

I’d like to ask a general question about this since I am still fairly new to the community. Why has the Evergreen community opted to use IRC chat as an on-line meeting venue? The one time I used it I found it disconcerting in its antiquated look and feel and had difficulty with the etiquette.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Should we schedule another IRC practice time?

Hello, Last week the IRC practice time went well, and we had a good bunch of folks trying out IRC. I wanted to check in if there was interest for a second practice time. I am all for it, but I wanted to verify that there was community interest. Remember to include your colleagues that are not on
