    Question IRC on freenode?

    Figured I'd try this again...because it's been a long time since we tried, and I wasn't really sure how the last one fared. How would you all feel about an IRC channel for the guild? It'd be a great place for us to gather for "special occasions", general chit-chat, help, Q&A's, AMA's, etc...

    As a trial, I've created #cartographersguild on irc.freenode.net. you can pop in and see if it works for you. Maybe it'll take off, maybe it won't. Feel free to post your thoughts here and vote on this poll!

    I thought I'd add, for others - http://webchat.freenode.net/?channel...ographersguild
    then put in a username then the channel is #cartographersguild

    You can also use an irc client like mirc on windows, or xchat or irssi on linux. Not sure about mac.

    Just as an FYI...I actually connect to freenode multiple evenings a week for several hours...So at least you'll periodically see me

    I just popped over and checked that out.
    I think maybe one person was on. Never done irc before really though.
    Could be nice for more interactive discussions.

    I use IRC occasionally at home. I've had a couple of very positive interactions with Inkscape developers there (I will never stop loving the fact that you can raise issues direct with developers, and sometimes they fix them then and there!) I'll check it out over the weekend when I'm at home, as I prefer to use an IRC client, rather than a web portal. It's handy to know it's there, especially if there are issues with the upcoming server upgrade.

    I'm in the channel now if anyone wants to pop in and be bored with me. Probably an hour or so.

    I am personally in favor, but I just wish it could be implemented into the forums/site thmeselves, even just as a link that says "Cartographers' Guild IRC Chat. I think that sort of promotion might help populate the chat.
