Announcing the new #drupal-indy IRC room.

Hey gang.
Here's a meeting room that everyone in the state of Indiana can attend.
I have created the Indiana Drupal IRC Chat Room on freenode irc network.
The room is always open because I built a bot [I named him indybot] and placed him as an ever present bot in the room.

New to IRC?

If you want to keep things REAL simple then install an irc-client as a firefox plugin by doing this...
Open up your firefox. and navigate to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16
Click the ADD TO FIREFOX button
Complete all install/setup procedures
Once you get into the main screen of chatzilla you want to choose the FREENODE network from the list.
Once you're on the freenode network you can type the following into the text bar at the bottom of the screen.
/join #drupal-indy

That's it!

Honestly you will see FAR MORE activity in the /join #drupal room than you will in our little sub-division. But the point is that you can keep the #drupal and the #drupal-indy room open at all times and wind up running into some very cool people.
My IRC name in any room is dougvann
If you need a headstart on IRC useage then visit http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html
If you want information on the indybot that I made you can visit http://clydehost.com/bot
clydehost.com is a big sandbox where I test things out and regularly break them; so don't look for a cool Drupal site there! :-)

I hope that many of you can join us for the next meeting AND I hope all of you can join #drupal-indy and enjoy a localized instance of the Drupal Community.
