Susan MacPhee and I registered a #drupal-boston IRC channel during the Drupal Cafe tonight and will be using it to help coordinate the upcoming Drupal Design Camp. We also anticipate that it will be used as a backchannel during the camp. (If you don't have an IRC program set up already, you can use the web-based chat client directly on the camp website. Just enter your preferred nickname and click "connect".)
Meanwhile, of course, everyone is invited to join the channel and use it anytime for planning Boston group-related events, asking Drupal questions, etc. Ping me if you're a Boston group admin and want to be a channel operator, too. Please be sure that your account is already registered with freenode and that you're identified (type /msg nickserv identify <nick> <password>). Thanks!
