That would be neat, but it's not practical. Hosting an IRC network is
generally done with multiple servers and is a nontrivial task, plus
Freenode is the de facto place for the open source / free software
community (many, many projects have official channels on Freenode), and I
don't know of anybody that hosts an entire IRC network for one channel or
project. For example, the official Debian Project IRC is on OFTC, they
don't host their own.
Cool idea though!

Subject: Linux Users Group Fall 2016
Message-ID: <54eef880-198b-4de2-f724-d3cf4ca0dfd2@ncsu.[redacted]>
Greetings!
For all who are interested in participating in the Linux Users Group
this coming semester, I (your PR officer, Neill) have a few announcements.
First off, for anyone new to the club/mailing list, the Linux Users
Group is an NCSU student organization focused on discussing, creating,
and advocating Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), specifically
regarding applications built for a Linux-based environment.
Your first resource for information and updates regarding the club is
*[http://lug.ncsu.edu/]*. A recent revamp and more consistent blog
updates will make this website an invaluable resource.
Club meetings have historically been held on Tuesday evenings at 7pm. As
such, *the club's first meeting of the semester* is tentatively
scheduled for *Tuesday August 23rd at 7:00pm in EB2 Room 3001*. Both
old-timers and newcomers are encouraged to attend as we will be laying
out the schedule and subject material for the rest of the semester!
If this time and place doesn't work for anybody, feel free to reply to
this email and suggest another time.
Finally, all *prospective members should reply to this email* with your
first and last name, so that you can be added to the club roster! If you
wish to remain incognito (we don't bite--really!), you can also email me
personally at nlrobson@ncsu.[redacted].
*TL;DR*: Linux User's Group first meeting August 23rd, 7pm, EB2 3001.
New members should reply to this email with their name. All members
should check the website for updates.
See you all in August!
