Description

This activity allows you to contact other OLPC users and enthusiasts on the internet, and chat with them.

It uses a system called [IRC].

It defaults to a "room" called #olpc-help, but you can also enter other rooms by typing /join #room where room is the name of the room you wish to join.

Some other OLPC rooms are listed here.

Installation Instructions

To install this activity, simply click on the .xo link to the right, from inside the Browse activity. Then Resume (open) the XoIRC activity from the Journal when it has downloaded.

Credits
