IRC
(Internet Relay Chat) Computer conferencing on the Internet.
The YAPC::NA::2010 team recommend that to have the best experience at YAPC that you learn how to use #yapc at irc.perl.org, Port 6667
""UPDATE;"" I apologize, I incorrectly scheduled this deployment for this morning rather than yesterday. 7062 should now be open at the Union and other South campus locations. If your group is using osuguest in other locations please let me know so I can open that port there as well.
UPDATE: use irc.eggebuh.com:21 (yes, port 21) to get around OHSU's wireless network firewall.
You have multiple choices to join in the fun and discussions.
1) Click the "Green Bubble" at the top of the site for a flash IRC chat client.
2) If you have a Mac you can try
LimeChat or
MacIrssi
3) If you are on Windows you can try
mIRC or
the irssi exe
4) If you prefer your console or you ssh to a server, try
irssi
5) If you are using Firefox you can try
the chatzilla addon
6) Pidgin is a multi-platform chat client with IRC support. Add an account on irc.perl.org with the username you prefer (no password needed). Then Join a Chat or Add Chat with channel #yapc.
7) If all else fails use your browser and let another site make the connection for you
mibbit.com
So download your favorite IRC clients, get logged in, and have some fun!
