Mageia IRC Channels

Channels are on the Freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net).

Connect to server irc.freenode.net and type /join channelname, replacing channelname with the name of the channel (including the leading "#"). All channels use English unless otherwise specified. You can use SSL by connecting to port 7000.

N.B. most dedicated IRC clients in Mageia (Konversation, Quassel (Qt/KDE apps); xchat, Pidgin (GTK+ apps)) will be set to connect to Freenode and join some of the main #mageia-* channels by default.

Project channels (in English)

Team specific:

These channels may host regular meetings (see summaries and logs ).

Other:

Channels in other languages

Channels for specific location/area

How to use IRC

See http://irchelp.org/ or https://wiki.mozilla.org/Education/Collaboration/IRC .

Freenode Channel Guidelines can be read on http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml


Check http://www.scribd.com/doc/2892558/freenode-irc-chanserv-help for ChanServ usage (would need a digest and recommendations for setting-up a chan).

And look at the List of commonly used abbreviations

[TODO: insert IRC netiquette rules]

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
  • contact the IRC Mageia team (mageia-irc@mageia.org) to get it approved and listed with all Mageia-related channels and/or registered; (The email address does not seem to be working any more!)
  • first come, first served.
