- Find an IRC client to use (some popular choices are XChat & mIRC).

- Join other channels of your choice eg. #gsoc #drupal
- Talk to Druplicon the bot and laugh at his clever replies.
- Leave a message for any person on #drupal-google channel using Druplicon bot.
- Druplicon can do a lot of things, experiment other such things with it.
