You really don't want to be archiving every single little thing that goes
on in an irc chat room all the time, there would just be too much
redundant information. For specific events sure, see the f2o fireside
chats or the recent ilovebees.com puppet master interview for example. 

But day to day stuff, why would you? No decisions are ever made on
#evolt, merely suggestions that get brought here for further discussion.
And we spout a *lot* of crap *:)

IRC is just an incredible handy tool to get around email lag, plus it's a
chilled place to hang out and keep sane during work.

The channel is #evolt and it's on the freenode network, but we have a DNS
entry so make clicky on this and it should work:

irc://irc.evolt.org/evolt

(william, is that right?)
