[Vanhackspace] online infrastructure meetings

[Austin]

++ floating nights, I think that those could/would work great.  Also for
members with access to toad I compiled pidgin last night and enabled
x11forwarding.  So if you have access to a terminal/putty you can run
'ssh -X user at toad.hackspace.ca -p2249 pidgin'.  This will allow you to
utilize silc in a gui with out installing any software. Using it for the
first time can be tricky..  If you are having trouble connecting give me
a shout off list.
