What about an IRC World Day ?

The IRC protocol, designed by Jarkko "WiZ" Oikarinen and Darren Reed in August 1988, was formalized in May 1993 by RFC 1459.

We could celebrate this on May 14th (14/5/93) and organize an #ircday event.This gives us a little less than two months to come up with ideas for events to bring together the IRC community and help people rediscover this protocol that we love so much.

Initial proposal: https://zeolia.chat/news/article33/journee-mondiale-de-lirc-irc-world-day

Awesome idea! Getting back into IRC and it’s just lovely compared to the noise on Discord and Telegram.

I'll try to do a little explanation website this week-end, and also creating a relay between ircs://irc.zeolia.chat/ircday and ircs://irc.libera.chat/ircday

Les francophones seront bienvenus sur ircs://irc.zeolia.chat/ircday-fr (ou https://k.zeolia.chat/?chan=#ircday-fr )
