[Air-l] Undernet's Birthday

[Guillaume Latzko-Toth]

Dear fellow Internet researchers,

Although Saturdays are generally for being anywhere *but* on the Net, an 
important gathering will take place on the Undernet IRC network on Saturday 
(February 8th), channel #liveevents, at 20h00 UTC (formerly known as GMT).

This will be to celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of the most famous 
and prosperous Internet Relay Chat networks (see below for details about 
the event). The interesting thing will be the "presence" of the "founders" 
of this network.

About a year ago, Jeremy opened a thread here, titled: "hmm, thinking about 
internet stories", and he mentioned the story of the Undernet as one of his 
"classic" history of the Internet. Having this in mind, and after the 
reading of Mirashi's brief "History of the Undernet" 
(http://www.user-com.undernet.org/documents/uhistory.html), I invite you to 
join me to attend this joyful "e-event".

Note: 20h00 in Universal Time is: 3:00 PM in (American) Eastern Standard 
Time (like in Montreal, New York), 8:00 PM in England, 9:00 PM in France, 
Spain and Germany.

In your IRC client, type:
/server us.undernet.org
or /server eu.undernet.org

Then type: /join #liveevents

My nickname will be: Alix or Alix-

Hoping to meet some of you there,
