I'd like to see a useful #nanog where network operators could chat.
That channel does exist but is not NANOG-related. Some #nanog folks who do want to finally chat on-topic hang out there. Quote from one of them: "dude, this is prolly the most on topic IRC channel I was ever in". :-) Fortunately, even with currently almost 200 folks in it, there is enough self discipline to stay mostly on topic.
I looked around at the various IRC networks and freenode looks OK. They bind channels to organizations, so #nanog could be bound to NANOG; this would allow the channel to be rescued if it got lost. Does anyone agree that this would be a good idea?
Who cares about organizations when it comes to exchange a few words between operators? Best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
