I almost forgot this for some time and didnt know how to format it
better, so didn't publish the logs. Sorry for that. I have kept the
raw irc logs in the following page [1] in the wiki. It was overall a
nice meeting, check out the logs please. If you know of good tools to
convert xchat irc log to wiki formatting, feel free to reformat it on
the same wiki page. Thanks.
