Pound vtluug

2012-11-15T03:14:04Z

2001:468:C80:A10A:3615:9EFF:FE02:BF6C: Added piespy animation

'''#vtluug''' on <code>irc.oftc.net</code> is the [[Linux and Unix Users Group|LUUG]] [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] channel. Beginning in 2008, some folks began to idle on <code>irc.freenode.net</code> in <code>#vtluug</code>. In fall 2009, there were generally a dozen LUUG members, alumni and associates on at any given time.

On February 28, 2012, the approximately 30 members in the channel made the decision to migrate to <code>irc.oftc.net</code> due to persistent stability issues with Freenode and some issues that some members had with the staff.

If you have a question, please stick around for a while after asking it; just because no one can help you now does not mean that no one will be able to help you later.

==Rules==
* Use common sense and treat others as you wish to be treated; all racist slurs, sexist remarks, and name calling are prohibited.
* #vtluug is for newcomers and experts alike. Please be helpful and friendly to everyone or don't say anything at all.
* Do not change your nick to indicate that you are away.
* Do not flood the channel; if your message is more than ~3 lines when posting logs or code, please use a pastebin such as [http://linxb.in linxb.in].
* In the unlikely event that you are banned, do not attempt to evade your ban. Ban evasion will be dealt with strictly and will result in extension of your ban.

==PieSpy==
[http://www.jibble.org/piespy/ PieSpy] is a bot that infers social connections in IRC channels. It regularly produces a graph of how it interprets the #vtluug social network. The lastest version is always available [http://vtluug.org/files/2012/piespy/vtluug/vtluug-current.png here]. You can also see the historical progression of the social network by checking out the different versions of the graph available [http://vtluug.org/files/2012/piespy/vtluug/ here]. Additionally, an animation of recent changes of the graph can be found [http://vtluug.org/files/2012/piespy/vtluug/animated.gif here].
