DRUPALCON
Just wanted to direct you to an easy place to find all the Drupalcon videos. http://dc2009.drupalc... DRUPAL IRC There were a few people on the surveys who didn't know what IRC is (I didn't know until 2 weeks ago) and/or who were interested in finding out more about it. IRC is basically just a system for participating in chatrooms, usually associated with very tech-y people and topics. So, here is a quick text tutorial to getting on the Drupal-related IRC chatrooms. Get an IRC Client I use: Colloquy http://colloquy.info/... Others have recommended: Pidgin http://pidgin.im/... Miranda http://www.miranda-im... There is also a Firefox Plugin: download it here: https://addons.mozill... learn how to use it here: http://www.mozilla.or... If you're using Colloquy (I assume other clients are similar): Install as usual, start it up. choose File -> New Connection (or cmd+n) type in a nickname (you don't have to register, but should http://freenode.net/f... choose "IRC" as the Server Protocol type irc.freenode.net into the Chat Server box click "remember this connection" if you wish ;) and click connect! Now you have a little box with your connection info listed. Click on the "Join Room" button (or cmd + j) type #drupal in the Chat Room box click "Join" Ta-da! Welcome to the main Drupal chat room! Easy peasy :) Other Drupal-related chatrooms of interest: #drupal-support (keep support out of #drupal) #drupal-design (my fav) #drupal-themes #drupal-docs (documentation) #drupal-views and on and on..... |
