I will be using irssi on a remote Debian box.

For IM I usually use MSN/Google on a Windows box at work, and Audium at home. My choice for browser is Firefox on Windows/*nix, Safari on Mac.

Also, for those SysAdmin types out there. Do any you have a good way to capture the IRC discussion and publish it afterward? We will want to archive these meetings and highlight the major points and decisions of the meetings.

I have a log running from irssi. If you're interested I can link it to a public place real-time, or just upload it somewhere after the meeting.

And while some may choose not to use Skype anyone who would like to take part in a voice discussion and save yourself from typing, I will be happy to have any join a conference call with me. Remember that Skype is free and runs on Windows, MacOS X and Linux.

Skype needs hardware that I don't have :) Or I could have this Dave-person inside my Mac do the talking for me...

Robin

I have used Windows, Mac and Linux over the years and I know it has been difficult to find a good IRC client when using a different platform. Once we know the platforms and IRC clients people feel work best I will get some basic instructions on the wiki explaining how to get those programs and how to get into the RC channel.

I prefer to use IRC, as I usually have a client sitting in the channel most of the time now even if I'm not physically present.

So please reply to all for this email and tell us what your choice platform is for daily use. And include your preferences for web browser, IM and IRC clients.

My time is split between Windows and FreeBSD pretty evenly. I have workstations and servers with both at home and at work.

For IRC, I usually use BitchX on FreeBSD, or on a rare occasion I may use a gui client such as xchat. If by some bizarre circumstance I'm forced to IRC on Windows, I use Trillian.

For IM on Windows, I use Trillian so I am on AIM/ICQ/Yahoo/MSN/Google Talk, and on FreeBSD I use gaim or Kopete, so I should be able to get on any of those services there as well.

I don't currently use any voice chat software, but I can probably find a mic if I had to (My laptop has a mic built in, but I have not used it much and I'm not sure I'd trust the quality of it for such use)

I have used Windows, Mac and Linux over the years and I know it has been difficult to find a good IRC client when using a different platform. Once we know the platforms and IRC clients people feel work best I will get some basic instructions on the wiki explaining how to get those programs and how to get into the RC channel.

Freenode already has a pretty good FAQ; We could point potential IRC users to it and that may alleviate a good chunk of the questions. We would only need a few #roundcube specifics on the Wiki, maybe pointers to a couple client programs.

Is there already a Roundcube Freenode group setup? (See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#groups ) If not, that would be nice, and those involved could get RoundCube group cloaks to hide their hostnames and identify themselves.

Also, for those SysAdmin types out there. Do any you have a good way to capture the IRC discussion and publish it afterward? We will want to archive these meetings and highlight the major points and decisions of the meetings.

I'm sure there are some simple bots out there that could perform the task, or just about any IRC client should have a logging option.

For IRC xchat works on both windows and linux, I dont know a irc client for mac. but it might be nice to use irc as you can also upload the chat log. would be nice for people to read it further down the line.

FYI, firefox has a irc client available. Not perfect but I'm sure it runs on all platforms that firefox runs on.
