IRC World Day ?

Post by CrazyCat »

Hi there :)

I'm trying to launch the IRC World Day:
The IRC protocol, designed by Jarkko "WiZ" Oikarinen and Darren Reed in August 1988, was formalized in May 1993 by RFC 1459. We could celebrate this on May 14th (14/5/93) and organize an #ircday event.

This gives us a little less than two months to come up with ideas for events to bring together the IRC community and help people rediscover this protocol that we love so much.
(Original post: https://zeolia.chat/news/article33/jour ... -world-day )

Do you have ideas about things we can do this day ? I was thinking to have interviews of pple from the darkside (devs of kiwiirc, unrealircd, eggdrops, ...), why not having also users' story and experiences of IRC...

Feel free to make all proposals you want

While I don't do Facebook, I can tell from conversations with friends that it is immensely popular. Apparently, I am a distinct minority. :)

Since it reaches SO many people - wouldn't it be a good idea to somehow use it to promote this idea?
