Trying out BetaLabs chat session

Wed, 2008-05-28 10:49

Hello folks!

We've decided to try out the idea of a chat session. You asked for it, we think it might be a good idea and here it comes. We have no idea if this will work or not - however we want to try.

The chat session will take place on Friday 28th 30th of May 2:30 to 3:30 pm EEST. Based on an educated guess, we chose to have the chat on IRC. Here is the detailed info for those who are familiar with IRC:

server: irc.freenode.net
channel: #nokiabetalabs

For those who are in the woods with IRC, here is a simple walktrough to join the discussion:


  1. Go to http://www.mibbit.com/

  2. Select Freenode.net from the server list

  3. Write #nokiabetalabs as the channel

  4. Pick a nickname for yourself (this has to be unique, so try to come up with something more original than "John")

  5. Click connect.


The channel is currently protected with a password and will be opened at the beginning of the session. At least me and Tommi will be joining from Nokia's side.

Hope to see you there!

Will try and attend, if you can clarify if it's the 28th or the 30th.

Although it's already finished if it's on the 28th ;)

I can never figure those things out, can someone post the time in different time zones? :P

I get lost even traveling from Michigan to Chicago :P

630a here in Dallas, TX. I'll do my best to be up, but I likely won't be in a great mood. :)

I just realized that if the irc.freenode.net server allows only X amount of mibbit.com users and that amount is exceeded, the rest will get an error saying something like "too many local connections". In such case I suggest to download a standalone IRC client to join the discussion.

Why not! It was fun. We just need to choose a topic. Stay tuned.
