[arg_discuss] SIG Chat on Feb. 3 - Agenda and Howto

[Andrea Phillips]

Just a reminder to everyone that the SIG IRC chat is TOMORROW at 6pm
Eastern/ 3pm Pacific/ 11pm Greenwich. Hope you can all make it!

I'm a little late with this, but here's the rough agenda I've come up
with. It's sparse, but I think our topics will probably fill out once
you get us all talking together.

AGENDA:

* Call for volunteers

* Focus of the SIG

* How to increase participation

* Status of current SIG activities (white papers, wiki, meetings)

* Meeting at GDC

* Other issues

HOW TO GET ON IRC

For those of us who may not be familiar with IRC, you first need to
download a client such as mIRC for Windows (http://www.mirc.org/) or
Colloquy for OSX (http://colloquy.info/downloads.html).

When you have it downloaded and installed, you will need to connect to
a server. Ours is irc.chat-solutions.org. The port you will need is
the default, 6667. Once you have a  connection to the server, you need
to join the SIG chat channel, which is #arg_sig

If you've never used IRC before and you're a little worried, I'd
encourage you to try it out ahead of time, it won't hurt anything. :)
And feel free to email me if you're having trouble getting everything
all set up.

As always if you have anything you'd like to add to the agenda, or any
other questions or comments, please post or email. Hope to see you all
tomorrow!
