Check out the #openhatch channel on freenode.<br><br>I would like to propose to add welcomebot at least to #CBT and #grow and maybe to some other channels. It's a simple, friendly little fix that is so nice and sweet.

It'll take me a little bit of time to get the bot up and running on the server anyway, so folks have time to give feedback.<br><br>Best,<br><br>Jennie<br><br>Jennie Rose Halperin<br>Community Building Team | Mozilla | <a href="http://jennierosehalperin.me">http://jennierosehalperin.me</a> | @little_wow | Join us! <a href="http://mozilla.org/contribute">http://mozilla.org/contribute</a><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Community-building mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Community-building@mozilla.org">Community-building@mozilla.org</a><br>https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/community-building<br></blockquote><br>_______________________________________________<br>Community-building mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Community-building@mozilla.org">Community-building@mozilla.org</a><br>https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/community-building<br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
