Australian Chat?

Being a small chat junkie myself, I was wondering whether us Aussies (and yeah, OK, Kiwis too) could informally organise a semi-regular Australian chat one day each week or so. It might be nice to get to know each other a bit better in the less formal chat setting, and swap info about razors and stuff in our part of the world.

If we pick a night, our time, it is unlikely we would interrupt the users from the more abundant longitudes.

Anyway, just a thought to bandy about. I haven't checked with anyone if it is OK, but given we have an inside man in Oz, it might have legs if people are interested.

How do you propose this chat would work. IRC a thread or something else?

If you use IRC we can set up an ozchat or oz-srp etc room and it wouldn't disturb anyone else

You could just use the SRP chat, some of us in another parts of the world is awake at odd hours sometimes too... :)

Well I was thinking the standard IRC we have. I think if we wanted to it should be reasonably straightforward to set up another room.

James.

Yeah, that would be interesting...

Thanks for thinking of us on the less fortunate side of the Tasman!

Don't get your hopes up yet. A lot depends on the outcome of the Rugby!!! lol! :p

James.

Not happy with just talkin' to yerself anymore mate?! :)


Mick

I am boring and tend to repeat the same things a lot. :D

I think the main chat room would be OK - there are not that many of us, and it would not be formal like say the restoration chat. It would just be "if you are around, pop into SRP chat" on a particular day and time. Like Blix said, that way we could still interact with all the international chatters if they are awake.

James.

Sounds good to me. I'll bring the snags...


Mick

yeah sounds good

OK, well if there is general agreement of the in-principle idea (or at least no general disagreement) let's try to narrow down a time.

I cannot participate in chat on Monday or Wednesday afternoons or nights. But that is not to say it couldn't be those nights if they suit others.

James.

setup #srp-oz and jimbo should have op access, if his nick is actually registered. I did not bother to check, time for bed.

oh yeah and wedwards has op to due to his green status.

Nice! Thanks Ben! :)

Everyone is welcome, of course. If you are unsure how to use the chat, check out the Wiki or send me a PM. For a small fee I can help you out! :p

And even though we have a dedicated channel, it would be excellent to see people in the main chat too (#srp).

James.

An Aussie chat place sounds great
I will join in whenever my shift work allows time
I see no problem with doing this on the SRP chat channel
May give us a wider experience base to draw from

My 2 cents worth anyways

Rick

I think you are right Rick - the only reason we suggested a separate channel was so we did not disturb regular chat. But, so long as we don't schedule anything for the resto, Sunday night, or newbie chat times, the main channel should be fine.

On that note, anyone got any suggestions of a day and time that we could make for a semi-regular chat?

James.

Saturday around 4ish? Friday night about 6? 8? 10?

Any of those would work for me.

James.

They work for me too.


Mick

So much more to learn :)
