Re: [ros-dev] Interest in ReactOS and some requets

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hi and welcome,

thanks for your offer to help - we were just discussing today in the  
irc-channel that there are some people in our current team who are  
willing to guide newbies through the process (get src code, build,  
run, modify something, try writing something new, send in patches, etc).

If you have ability, please join #reactos on freenode irc network. If  
not, then email is allright (ask questions right here, so other can  
read and learn too).



WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

IRC client gives error "Couldn't look up your hostname" while I am trying
to
connect to the FreeNode server.  I am using my institute net connectivity
which is probably thru' a NAT box.
Any ideas??

Hey,

 

Make sure you are trying to connect to irc.freenode.net and that no firewall
is in the way (other than the NAT gateway).

I've run into that issue myself, also when going through my university's
network.  Usually retrying will get me a connection.  This is providing of
course your institute doesn't block the IRC ports.

Ver very good idea. Seems ROS is getting mature ;)
