Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:41:21 +0300 From: Gabor Szabo To: PM Groups Hi, As part of my Perl 6 series of screencasts I created an episode showing people how can they use IRC to ask Perl 6 related questions and how can they try Perl 6 without installing anything on their computer: http://szabgab.com/blog/2010/07/1279932344.html Then, today - on the 2nd birthday of Padre - I created a screencast showing how one can join the #padre IRC channel and other Perl related IRC channels: http://szabgab.com/blog/2010/07/1280012145.html It would be nice to see more people join the various Perl related IRC channels and get active there. So I'd like to ask you to either forward the links to your local mailing list or maybe prepare a better screencast that shows how to use the channel of your PM group - if you have one - or other perl channels that your members might be interested in. If you have never user IRC I hope these short videos will help you learn how to use it. If you use IRC 10-15 years ago and are surprised that it is still around, well I was surprised to a couple of years ago when I started to use it again after a 10 year break. It turns out it became quite main-stream. At least among the geeks :) I think it might also be important to explain about the bots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf2wbRWb9xI In the meantime, I hope you'll come by the Padre channel and say happy birthday to the developers. regards Gabor http://szabgab.com/ -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org pm_groups mailing list pm_groups at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
