Goal #1: practice navigating from the command line

Many of the tools of open source development are primarily used via the command line. Let's get some practice with navigating the computer from the command line.

Goal #2: install an IRC client

IRC is a real-time chat protocol that open source projects often use to talk about the project and as a medium for users and developers to help each other.

Bonus material

If you finish laptop setup early:

  • Find and join an IRC channel for something you are interested in.
    • on Freenode, try channels like #python, #django
    • You can get a full list of Freenode's channels here
