Use any irc client software, point it at any of the Freenode network 
servers (http://freenode.net/ for info on the service and how to use 
Freenode services).  Then join channel #trilug and enjoy.

#trilug is a live chat unlike the mailing list.  Sometimes we talk about 
Linux, sometimes we talk about things that have nothing to do with Linux.

When the steering@ discussion looked like it was going to turn into a 
long one, instead of mailbombing the trilug@ list, some of us took it to 
#trilug where much of the steering committee can be found during the day 
and we were able to have rapid exchanges of (at first) grievances and 
(later) ideas.  I think such a discussion would have died in the crib if 
it were carried on trilug at .

Did you know TriLUG has its own instant messaging server, too?  That's 
right.  It uses the Jabber protocol so there is a lot of flexibility in 
what client you can use and how you use it (limiting Jabber to the role 
of "instant messaging" sort of understates its capabilities).
