[TriLUG] IRC lack-of-fun

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

I'm on some other channels on freenode, and yeah... they've been
considering moving too. I have to run 3 or 4 instances of x-chat to keep
everything organized. Not to mention being an Global IRCop on one of the
servers keeps my time rather "occupied".

Incidentally, we're not the only ones having a problem with freenode
lately.  Some of you may be aware that the official #debian channels
have moved to oftc as well.  Not sure if any other channels have or are
considering moving, though.
