Github service hook to announce in IRC

The IRC channel (#openemr on freenode) is growing in popularity and use. One thing that may be handy is to enable the “service hook” in github to announce commits into the IRC channel. I think this would help us keep track of the code headed into the repository. I think the admin of the openemr repository has to do that. Is that Brady?

Brady, if you’re willing, here’s how to turn it on:

from the repository page: http://github.com/openemr/openemr
click the “Admin” button near the top right.
choose the “service hooks” tab on the left.
under “available service hooks”, choose “IRC”
in “server”, put “irc.freenode.net
port: 6667
room: #openemr
nick: I guess that’s optional
click the “active” box
hit “update settings”.

I think it will start announcing commits into the IRC channel at that point.

If you’d rather not do this or something, I understand.

Thanks!
