Drupalcon IRC Backchannel Bookmarklet
August 25, 2009 - 18:49
In the interest of creating an even richer environment for the exchange of ideas at Drupalcon Paris, I've written a "DrupalconParis IRC Backchannel Bookmarklet" for your favorite browser/IRC-client combination and made it available for free at www.chataboutthis.com/drupalcon-paris.html.
Now we all have a quick-and-easy way to participate in real-time discussions about any of the Drupalcon sessions, BoFs, job fairs, last-minute planning, breaking news — anything at Drupalcon with a URI — while they are taking place...
...even we Drupalers who can't be there. :o)

Fixed Backchannels for Long-Named Sessions
Whoops! Forgot about IRC's 50-character limit on channel names (52 with an encoded "/", 48 without). Sorry about that. :o(
Corrected all the bookmarklets, direct links, and "/join" commands.
Good to go now. :o)

Two More Methods
For the sake of thoroughness, I added two more methods to connect to the Drupalcon IRC Backchannels:
- Direct links to each session's IRC backchannel
- IRC "/join" commands for each session's IRC backchannel
Of course, these backchannels in no way preempt the Drupal Community's established freenode IRC channels at http://drupal.org/irc — where actual work gets discussed! :oP
By special request, the Drupalcon Paris IRC Backchannels are now on freenode.
Please update to the new bookmarklet at http://www.chataboutthis.com/drupalcon-paris.html (where you can also find the updated direct links and "/join" commands.)
