I started today two new IRC channels on Freenode to discuss the usage and development of two great Free & Open source programs, Tangogps and Smile, and also to allow free & realtime discussion of the user communities.
Tangogps is a map & gps program for Linux. Tangogps is written by Marcus Bauer and ir runs on devices like Openmoko Freerunner, but also on desktop computers. The channel I started is #tangogps, feel free to join! (Ajax client and Java client)
Smile is a slideshow application for Linux by Stéphane Gibault, see my blog post on Smile. The Irc channel is #smile-slideshow. Join the discussion there! (Ajax client and Java client)
Let the discussion flow!
What’s your experience on these apps? Using Tangogps or Smile? Best things about them?
About IRC – I think the IRC commands are a bit of a pain.. on #tangogps, I first dropped my op rights only to realize that after that I wasnt’ able to register the channel.. So 4 of us had to leave the channel to gain admin rights again.. But I’m learning :)

I use jabber for new project channels myself… the fact that when you join a channel and get some history displayed to you (not everyone runs screen), formatting, and unlimited pastes make it very much worth it.
Somewhat remember Smile, but never used it. All-french website too it seems?
@Vadim: I’ve actually never tried jabber channel (although identi.ca jabber client feels like one :), maybe I should..
Smile is nice app, easy to create nice videos. And yes, all-french website :/
