"Part 1 - Walk through of IRC Conversation":

How do people interact?

Answer: People interact asynchronously: someone will pose a question or state an opinion, and then others will respond accordingly.

What is the pattern of communication? Is it linear or branched? Formal or informal? One-to-many, one-to-one or a mix?

Answer: all of the above. But typically a topic is introduced/started, and then discussion (comments, questions, answers) are focused on that topic.

Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning?

Answer: Yes, #topic #info #action

Can you make any other observations?

Answer: It stimulates collaboration and camaraderie.


"Part 3 – Join and Observe Channel Discussion"

Summarize your observations (of your selected HFOSS project "foss2serve").

Answer: In general, the interaction is very slow; there can be hours w/o any dialogue.


Other questions: What advantages might IRC have over other real-time communication methods (like Google Chat or Facebook Messenger?) Are there potential disadvantages?

Answer: the participants are only those who have an interest in the particular topic.


For what purposes do FOSS projects use IRC channels?

Answer: Collaboration, share ideas, identify/resolve issues.

Why choose IRC over another synchronous collaboration method (like a conference call)?

Answer: It's asynchronous ... it doesn't require a specific, coordinated time for all people to meet.

How can IRC be used to facilitate project management?

Answer: To share ideas among project members, get consensus on tasks/priorities, and coordinate efforts.

In your own words, explain how to find a channel and join it for whichever IRC client you prefer.

Answer: In Colloquy, I join a server (irc.freenode.net) and then specify a particular channel (foss2serve).
