Ubuntu Ireland on Google+
This is relatively painless, if you have a Google account just log in and add Ubuntu Ireland to one of your circles. From there you can comment, hangout and mingle.
Ubuntu Ireland on the IRC
The Ubuntu Ireland IRC almost always have some people online and is a great way to get in contact with other Ubuntu Ireland users. If using the default Ubuntu IM client, Empathy, then logging in is relatively straight forward.
Add an IRC account in Empathy just as if you are setting up any other account. IRC accounts do not usually need passwords either, just a username you want to go by. After that;
- Go to the messaging menu and select ‘chat’
- When the ‘contact list’ appear, head to the global menubar and select ‘room’
- Then select ‘join room’
- Account: freenode
- Room: #ubuntu-ie
- Now you should be logged into the Ubuntu Ireland IRC channel
Not in Ireland but still want to take part?
