[FOSSRIT] Re: Get an IRC cloak for RIT!

[Justin W. Flory]

Just as a final reminder, I'm looking at sending over the initial batch
of requests tomorrow afternoon. If anyone out there still wants a cloak,
please let me know ASAP so I can get your request in with the initial
batch to make less work for the freenode staff.

Also, an updated list of IRC cloaks can be found here (since we had a
discussion on IRC to add a de-gendered alum cloak):

Thanks!
