<pre>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:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://szabgab.com/blog/2010/07/1279932344.html">http://szabgab.com/blog/2010/07/1279932344.html</a>
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:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://szabgab.com/blog/2010/07/1280012145.html">http://szabgab.com/blog/2010/07/1280012145.html</a>
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:

In the meantime, I hope you'll come by the Padre channel and
say happy birthday to the developers.
regards
Gabor
