There was an attempt at a joint channel, and it is still there, but not very active, although many people idle in it. #TI
There have been a few attempts of discussions between the communities by the leadership, but due to scheduling they haven't worked too well yet. But there definatly has been a little progress.
I'm not sure what will happen with OmnomIRC yet, but I will make a decision soon when I get to talk to the other admins.

On a side note, are we all joining #omnimag2 for a while now?

you can temporarily join #omnimaga2 if you wish

Can I be 'voiced'?

Yes. Just ask an operator to voice you.

Not to add further confusion, but does this invalidate DJ's previous news post?

Not completely. Currently the channel is still on invite only, so not everyone is going to get in. OmnomIRC is also not connected to the channel and will not be until the restructuring is done. So in a sense they are currently both shut down for public use. Just not forever.

@Hotdog:Voicing is simply the act of a channel operator giving a member joining the channel the ability to chat in the room. If they do not have "voice" status they cannot chat in the chat room.

only when a certain mode is set on the channel though. ( +m )

Due to recent incidents I have decided to do a massive restructure to IRC.
The channel is, for now going to be invite only as we get things set up. OmnomIRC will eventually be connected, but at the moment it will not.

We are no longer going to voice everybody in the channel, in fact the channel will be in private mode (or whatever it's called) continually, so no non-voiced members can chat. New joiners will have to request voice from ops and it will be at the ops discretion.
While we do want to help people, I think that this sort of instant communication where people can be hurt quite easily should be limited for those who we know wont hurt others. People who have proven themselves to be good will be given ident from netbot so they can autovoice.
The greet bot will now give a greet to all members who join with more information then just the link to the rules, but some more outlining some more specifics, and information on how to ident for those who can. Also who holds ops in the channel will be re-thought, more may be added, some may be taken away, no promises as of yet.

This restructure can be changed in the near future, but first all the admins need to have a discussion about it and until then the rules outlined above are to be followed.

There will be no complaints about this change especially since it is not final yet and the decision is final that there will be restructuring due to what has happened.

Thank you for your patience in this transition.

OMG! I thought it was still in the discussion/planning process . I was skimming through the topic sometimes but I don't understand much, so I wasn't sure. I hope this works with the TI-Nspire, because it's certain I'm gonna try this at one point.

They have been working on it for the last two days I believe. I'm not sure it will work on the nspire though due to the usb being locked out of the 84+ emulator.

Also yeah happy pi day in advance, although for French people we still have until July 22nd.

oh really?
03/14 was yesterday for me, so it's already over for me

As this Cemetech news article states, gCn via direct USB is not far from finished. Soon we wont have to have an Arduino microcontroller board or a custom AVR USBHID bridge to connect to the internet via gcn.

In other news, happy belated Pi day

This idea sounds good it's actually an idea I had rolling around in my head

Hmm, this might help, make things more clear. Maybe have netbot pm people who join the channel and point them to the rules as well?
@DJ: you do do a good job, albeit you make mistakes, but that's only human, we all make mistakes. I make tons myself, but it's what we do with our mistakes that counts. In my opinion you do very well with learning from them, I mean you actively try to, and I know lots of people who don't, they just repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
