I would suggest using the Freenode IRC network and just create a channel
there, many developers and sysadmins already hang out at Freenode (370 users
in #ipv6, 970 in #networking), I bet some Atlas users are there too.

It's very simple to join one more channel on an existing network you're
already on, but a much higher amount of hassle to create a new connection
profile in the IRC client for a new network, then register a username there,
etc.
