Using the FSG IRC Server
The LSB Project makes extensive use of Internet Relay Chat - IRC - for live discussions, and direct access to most of the developers. Certain meetings will have a concurrent IRC chat for posting links and notes, and so people not on calls can participate.
The primary channels used are:
- irc://irc.freestandards.org/#lsb - the main LSB discussion area (see log)
- irc://irc.freestandards.org/#bugs - discussion on bugs from bugzilla (see log). See also BugDay.
- irc://irc.freestandards.org/#lsbsi - discussion on the sample implementastion and tools (see log)
How not to miss IRC conversations
Consider the use of a IRC proxy "bouncer".Here's one such software you can use -
dircproxy is an IRC proxy server ("bouncer") designed for people who use IRC from lots of different workstations or clients, but wish to remain connected and see what they missed while they were away. You connect to IRC through dircproxy, and it keeps you connected to the server, even after you detach your client from it. While you're detached, it logs channel and private messages as well as important events, and when you reattach it'll let you know what you missed. An LSB server runs dircproxy on behalf of a number of contributors; check with an admin to get this set up.
