[LinuxUsers] IRC...

[Chris Louden]

Hey

Apologies for the IRC being down. This is something that DK has been  
working on. He's busy with work and I'm moving this weekend.

There is nothing inherently wrong with freenode.

The IRC server we use interacts with other nodes of a common IRC  
network. I believe its called OZ. If you ever looked there were  
several channels besides #linuxusers.  The main reason as far as i  
know of using it was SSL connectivity as well as trusting it in gereral.

As far as having a #srcle group on freenode I don't have an opinion  
but FYI the #linuxusers channel will be back up soon.
