Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Python Uno on Ubuntu 13.10

Hi :)
I didn't even know there was an irc channel for users :(  I'm not into
irc and i think most of us probably find that sort of thing a bit too
geeky.  Well, i think it sounds geeky and that i'm unlikely to
understand it.  Also i get the impression it's like social networking
or real-time communications which puts me off a little.

There is an AskLO bot but i don't know how to access it and i've got a
feeling they aren't any more technical than we are on this list.  The
trick is trying to find some way of accessing the devs without being
too off-topic for their channel
Apols and regards from
Tom :)
