My somewhat unique usage of my Galileo means it's not quite appropriate for me to talk about it in #windowsondevices (I'm not using Windows), #arduino (I'm not currently doing anything with Arduino C, since I'm addressing the pins directly), or #linux (some of the questions I've posed to linux users has left them stumped - not to mention #linux on freenode is kindof an elitist bunch and they're more likely to criticize your decisions than to actually help or discuss anything).
I want to make some new friends in this community, and I'm not really big on the forum format. I love the idea of it, but I feel like something has to be of a certain level of importance to warrant a forum post, while an IRC channel is a lot more casual and it wouldn't be as out-of-place to have casual conversations in a channel.
So, I'm asking if one exists anywhere, or if anyone would be interested in starting one.
