[[!meta title="IRC"]]
While all official development takes place on the mailing lists and the Savannah trackers,
a lot of discussions are had on IRC as well. Everybody is welcome to join and follow these channels, but please
respect the below guidelines if you want to participate.
# Asking Questions
[[!inline pages=asking_questions raw=yes feeds=no]]
# Staying On-Topic
Please try to stay on topic.

* If it is appropriate for a **slashdot comment**, it's **not appropriate**
here

* you should not advocate your favorite **GNU/Linux** ditribution
# Pasting Logs
Sometimes providing a log or some other excerpt of text can

the log in the channel itself. Instead use a
[paste bin](http://paste.debian.net).
# Rich Text
Don't use it. Don't use colors. Don't use bold. Don't use emphasis.
# Greeting
If you never contribute to the discussion, there is no need
to always greet the channel when you enter and before leave.

# 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. The meetings take place in the **`#hurd` channel every
Monday and Thursday at 10:30 UTC** and are open to any interested party. So,
everyone, take your chance to chat with GNU Hurd developers!
# Channels
All Hurd IRC channels are hosted on [Freenode.net](http://freenode.net/).
* #hurd - The official Hurd IRC channel. Some of the Hurd developers and users hang out there, and discussions about GNU Hurd, GNU/Hurd and
Debian GNU/Hurd are had there.
Local user channels include:
* #hurd-it - Italian
* #hurd-es - Spanish
* #hurdfr - French
* #hurd-de - German
