Everybody is welcome to join and participate in the discussions, but please respect the below guidelines if you want to participate. Please try to stay on topic. We're not interested in Emacs vs. vi discussions, we don't want to hear why you think that the GNU project sucks, or what your favorite GNU/Linux distribution is. [[!inline pages=faq/asking_questions raw=yes feeds=no]] Sometimes providing a log or some other excerpt of text can help solve a problem or answer a question. Do not paste the log in the channel itself if it's more than a few lines. Instead use a [paste bin](http://paste.debian.net). # Regular Meetings Starting in early 2008, there have been regular IRC meetings held between the (now former) [[Google Summer of Code|community/gsoc]] students and their mentors. These meetings turned out to considerably help student-mentor interactions, and other developers regularely took part, too. For this reason, we decided to continue having these meetings, even if it's not currently Google Summer of Code time. Currently, the meetings take place in the **`#hurd` channel every Thursday at 19:00 UTC** and are open to any interested party. So, everyone, take your chance to chat with GNU Hurd developers! # Channels ## Freenode `irc.freenode.net`, * `#hurd`, the official GNU Hurd IRC channel.
