Intro IRC Activity
Part 1 - Questions How do people interact? - very much like text messaging What is the pattern of communication? - It seems to go over a long period of time. Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning? - Yes, I see many in the sample chat. I have not seen a real conversation yet. Can you make any other observations? - I love that the meeting agenda can be automatically drawn up from the meetbot.
Part 3 Summarize your observations (of your selected HFOSS project) on your faculty wiki page.
I selected the GNOME project. I sat on the channel for awhile and watched people join and leave the chat room. I also am participating in Google Summer of Code and am hanging out on that channel. Same story. I will keep all the channels open over night and see if something happens.
