This is the automated ALUG IRC meeting reminder sent to remind you that there is an IRC meeting tonight (Monday) at 8.00pm. Historically, these used to be the only time a lot of us would be about, now the channel has some usual faces that are there most of the time (except at silly o'clock, when we might be sleeping, or on the second thursday of the month, where we might be drinking in the Reindeer), so don't feel limited to visit during this time, come visit us when ever you feel like it!
The meeting takes place on the irc server irc.alug.org.uk in the #alug channel.
Most IRC clients should allow you to get there with the commands "/server irc.alug.org.uk" and "/join #alug".
Popular IRC clients include xchat, irssi and EPIC on Unix, and Mirc under windows. Here are some links to help you get started with irc.

I was wondering if we should change the word "meeting" to "chat" or something more fluffy and friendly? My thinking behind this is that we no longer appear to have many people turn up on a Monday night (except those who lurk there most of the time anyhow) and we don't get many newbies turning up anymore, the word "meeting" sounds a bit "formal" and may put people new to irc+Linux off the idea of coming along and joining in.
Possibly we want to change the name/adverts and Monday nights to something which encourages new alug members to turn up to get help with irc and feel that they can join in and be more included?
Thanks Adam
