[IBD] New community building tool - IBD IRC channel

Hi Boost-docers :) We have add a new resource to IBD, an IRC channel: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ImprovingBoostDocs#Resources IBDers hang out in this channel almost all day. It has an informal and very enjoyable ambient. If something interesting is discussed there, it is edited and posted in the boost-docs list or our community blog. The channel name is #ibd and is being hosted in irc.oftc.net. If you have an IRC capable browser (i.e. Opera or Firefox+Chatzilla add on) you can directly use the IRC url: irc://irc.oftc.net/ibd We are waiting you there! King regards The IBD crowd

I don't understand why this channel is not at freenode like #boost. The only reason I've heard is that some Debian people want to switch to oftc. So freenode seems to have lost some of its "cool" factor? Without knowing any other rationale, this just seems silly. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com

Sorry for this Dave. I have zero IRC experience. :) We are now moving #ibd and #boost-soc to irc.freenode.net See you there guys! Regards Matias

We have successfully complete the moving. IBD IRC channel: #ibd @ irc.freenode.net ( irc://irc.freenode.net/ibd ) Boost SoC IRC channel: #boost-soc @ irc.freenode.net ( irc://irc.freenode.net/boost-soc ) The channels at OFTC are deprecated. Sorry for the inconvenience King regards Matias
