'''#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]].

== 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.

Hi MJ, I've been meaning to apply to bemcoe a member of SPI, and when I saw your post today at Planet Debian, I decided to go for it. I went to the website and can't find a join link anywhere. Is donating the same as joining? I seem to remember you posting something about how it was only $25 to join. Did I mis-read a post? Thanks for any information you might have.Oh yeah I also wanted to ask you if you would consider using PBooks for bookkeeping if I changed the license to GPLv2, Apache, or something else you might recommend.Thanks again.
