[ubuntu-in] UBUNTU INDIA LOCO TEAM DEAD

[Abhishek Potnis]

Hi,
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It is very much similar to the group
chat used in gmail and facebook with the difference that we use  the
concept of nicknames. You  need to use a unique nickname for participating
in the irc, it is better to register your nickname, so that nobody else can
have the same nickname and also having a fixed nickname helps to identify
people more clearly with whom we are talking.

You can find more info on irc here :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat

You can use chatzilla if you are using firefox. Chatzilla is an add-on in
firefox to facilitate irc.
