Accessing "for public" chat rooms

In order to keep efficient communications and quality information, the chatrooms hosted on the NWSChat server are closed to the general public.

One of the neat features that makes this setup interesting, is that "iembot" messages are placed in these chatrooms. Anybody can use this setup to monitor what the "bot" is saying. iembot is a process that automatically routes NWS text products to WFO specific chatrooms.

Jason Patton, a meteorology student at Iowa State, has written up a configuration page for accessing the chatrooms.
