Our channels are on the Freenode IRC network (irc://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.
Warning : The Mibbit web client which is used by Firefox, when you click on an IRC link, does not have the Mageia IRC channels. Please use the Freenode web site : http://webchat.freenode.net/ if you do not have a different IRC client on your computer.
You can see how to use IRC.

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.
- Use ## before the channel name to make it unofficial when you don't have permission to create an official channel. Like this: ##mageia-{channelname}
