IRC chat room availible for OS Developers!

[K.J.]

The chat room is called #osdev and can be accessed here:

server: chat.planetz.net
port: 7000
room: #osdev

A bad word filter has been turned on that turns the bad words into strings of *********'s. So if an operater sees a bunch of stars from someone, that someone is likely to be kicked off and possibly banned if their behavior continues.

df, could you point me (via link) to this chatroom on the main page? Thanks!

[K.J.]

That link for the chat room stats didn't work right. Here is the link:

Tommy: the is no such thing as a "link" to an IRC chat room unless someone has set up a java applet/cgi program on a web site.

The link doesn't work.

[K.J.]

Try it now, the host is changing to a different server, so the link doesn't work 100% of the time.

The link seems to be just showing stats. How do you get into the chat room?

[Tim]

That's the point. This is IRC -- you need a separate program. Try a search for mIRC.

And click on Chat Now! to chat from within your browser(you don't have to download an IRC program this way).
