[ODFPlugtest] ANNOUNCE: IRC channel #odfplugfest on freenode

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

I think the problem with IRC in this case is that participation requires synchronicity of presence.  Across a wide range of time zones, this does not work very well except for those who are temporally nearby.

So there is a tendency to have a time-centric selection of participation (and I suspect, in this case, it is in the vicinity of CET).

I trust that the mailing list will remain useful for anything not quite so ephemeral.

All,

at the ODF Plugfest in Berlin last week I created an IRC channel called
#ODFplugfest so the people in the room could communicate.

The channel is now persistent in freenode.

So IMHO we should all use this IRC channel and create effectively on
always-on plugfest where those that are implementing and working with
ODF can discuss interop stuff.

You can simply vote with your feet by joining or ignoring this channel ;-)

Should enough people use this, we can and should put it on the wiki/eb
pages too.

Jan
