On 15 June 2021, we were forced to move our IRC channels on Freenode to Liberachat. You can visit them on the Libera Chat Network (ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697)
The intention was to have a backup on Liberachat for each of our channels on Freenode. You can find them below, but some might not yet be populated or registered. If you have a question about an empty channel, then please ask in #mageia
The channels will host regular meetings (see summaries and logs).
All channels use English unless otherwise specified.
Some channels (will) have useful bots; learn about them.
Connect to server ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697 and type /join channelname, replacing channelname with the name of the channel (including the leading "#"). Using a secure connection with SSL by connecting to port 6697 is obligatory.
Using a browser: https://web.libera.chat/
Using an IRC client such as for example hexchat : choose network Libera.Chat, and menu Server > Join a channel > #mageia-something from list below.

Only the channels, for which the Freenode twin was populated when this was written, are shown below:

- #mageia-et (Estonian)
- #mageia-fi (Finnish)
- #mageia-fr (français)

Channels for specific location/area
On Freenode, we had channels for the United Kingdom and for South Africa, but there were no users there when this page was created.
Unofficial project channels
Those channels were empty on Freenode on the day this page was created, so not mentioning them.
How to add a channel - Naming rules
- use the suffix you want in the #mageia-{suffix} format
- reserved are -council, -board and other roles/teams related ones - ask in case of doubt;
- you may actually use a totally different name for your channel, that won't prevent from being referenced;
- consider if you are targeting: a common language, a common location or country or something else; or if it doesn't matter;
- for the i18n channels, please use #mageia-i18n-{language_code}, e.g #mageia-i18n-fr for the French channel. #mageia-{language_code} is better for a general language specific discussion channel
- ask in [#mageia-dev] to get your channel approved and listed with all Mageia-related channels and/or registered. Don't be shy and repeat your question at least daily until you get an answer.
- first come, first served.
