We've had an IRC channel going steady for the last couple of years, but just recently made it official. Now, with a shiny new channel name, approval from the Drupal IRC maintainer (chx), we're good to go. So, come visit us at #drupal-idaho, where you can connect with Idaho-based Drupal people for fun, profit and other wild and crazy things.
IRC is a live chat tool used by a lot of open source communities to collaborate and exchange support. Here's how to get hooked up:
- Download and install the Chatzilla extension for Firefox
- Go to Tools > Chatzilla to open up the Chatzilla window
- Click the 'freenode' link in the main body of the window (there's a bunch of other links there)
- Go to Chatzilla > Join IRC room
- Filter the channels by typing 'drupal'. You'll see us in there at #drupal-idaho, but also connect to #drupal-support.
If you want to get fancy, you can download a client for your desktop, like Colloquy for the Mac, or xChat for Windows and Linux.
