why doesn't someone create a public Skype chat for SwiNOG?
Will that work with my <enter your chosen OS here>?
well, almost :) http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/
I think more people on this list have skype than IRC client software (me, for example :-)
It's simple, it's vintage, it's reliable and clients are available for pretty much every known device. Or in other words: it's plain geeky. Reason enough? ;)
almost anyone uses skype anyway, so why bother :)
Roger>> IRC is basic, works very well even on very slow satelite link...
show me a satellite link in Switzerland :-)
my grandmother in scheid is using one - its faster then the DSL there ;)

no one cares about security and I think swinog should care about security!
use IRC, install one of the thousands IRC clients available and ask your security guru to open the port, or do it on your own ^^

I've never used a satellite link before.... haha :D but why use skype with it's big overhead when you just need to exchange some plain text information...?

You can connect via SSL for a little bit of enhanced security (and the connection between the servers is also encrypted).
As alternative of Skype, we can take it to the max and use the chat-system of World of Warcraft. We just have to choose, if we play for Alliance or Horde and may use the guild chat (the famous n00b-pwning Swinog-Guild) </badhumour>
