Chicago Python Workshop/Chicago Python Workshop 1/IRC/OSX IRC

On OS X, we'll be using Colloquy, a popular graphical IRC chat client.

IRC client setup instructions

 * 1) Download Colloquy from this link.
 * 2) Read through the material on Getting started with Colloquy. We'll practice using IRC in depth later in the day.

IRC client practice: joining the ChipyShop channel
During this workshop we'll get practice using IRC and help each other as we contribute to project in the #chipyshop channel on the Freenode network.

Here are the connection details for joining the Freenode network and the OpenHatch IRC channel:

IRC server name: irc.freenode.net channel name: #chipyshop

Given that information, and reviewing the Colloquy overview above, use Colloquy to connect to Freenode and join the OpenHatch channel. Pick any nickname you like. :) Once you have joined the channel, say hello!
