| '''#acetarium''' is an [[wikipedia:Internet Relay Chat|IRC channel]] located on the OFTC IRC network. You can connect to the network at <code>irc.oftc.net</code>. Although the etymology is a matter of debate, the name seems to refer to either the Latin word for ''salad'' or to [[Acetarium|a highly exclusive living, working, and recreation center]] in [[wikipedia:Davis Square|Davis Square, Somerville]].
| | I wrote the post a couple of days ago and the agdena wasn't posted then. I'll update the post, but will you post announcements a bit earlier than 0-day in future, please?Readers can see from the link that several board members have stated on spi-general that they think there should be advice, but have any started getting it? That's not something ordinary members can do.I probably won't be at this meeting, due to attending after accepting an invitation sent to our local council. |

| == What is IRC? ==
| |
| | |
| IRC is like a chat system based around public channels but with the ability to do IM-like personal messages as well. It's nearly as old at the Internet and often feels like that!
| |
| | |
| To connect to IRC, you'll need an IRC client. Some IM clients like [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin] support many different protocol have support for IRC as well. If you already use one of these clients, you might trying setting IRC this way. That said, most people tend to choose to use dedicated IRC clients. The most popular free software client is probably [http://xchat.org/ Xchat] and it should be easily available in almost any major GNU/Linux distribution.
| |
| | |
| General advice on setting up IRC can be found [http://www.ixibo.com/2009/02/how-to-connect-irc-windows-linux-mac-osx/ in this article] which includes instructions on setting up IRC on GNU/Linux, Windows, and Mac.
| |
| | |
| The key pieces of information you'll need to configure any client are:
| |
| | |
| * Server/Host: <code>irc.oftc.net</code>
| |
| * Channel: <code>#acetarium</code>
| |
| | |
| Introduce yourself when you join so folks know who you are! If you explain you are new to IRC, others will more than happy to help answer any questions you have.
