Tonight we're going to have a general meeting at 6:30PM EST in order to review where we've been and where we're going.

If you can make it, please join us on IRC. For those familiar with IRC, please go to room #projectpm on freenode.

For those unfamiliar with IRC, please think of it as a chat room. Instructions are below for those that have never done IRC before.

1) Download and install the Firefox (http://getfirefox.com) web browser if you don't already have it.

2) In Firefox, navigate to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/ and install the Chatzilla plugin. Firefox will prompt you to restart the browser.

3) Once the browser comes back, navigate to irc://chat.freenode.net.  Note the irc:// at the beginning of the URL!  A new window will appear.  It takes a few seconds to connect, and it will give you a lot of text while it does so. Once it loads, it should say "End of /MOTD command"

4) Now join our chatroom, by typing "/join #projectpm" (without quotes) into the bar at the bottom of this new window, and hitting enter.  Note the "/" at the beginning

5) To help identify yourself you can change your user name by typing "/nick {desired name}" (without quotes)


And that's it! You're now in chat.  Type hello and hit enter. :)
