[[!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.
* emacs vs. vi **is not** on topic
* If it is appropriate for a **slashdot comment**, it's **not appropriate**
here
* why GNU sucks is **off-topic**
* when the next release of the Hurd will be **is inappropriate**
* you should not advocate your favorite **GNU/Linux** ditribution
# Pasting Logs
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. 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) [[community/GSoC]] students and their mentors. These continue to
take place even that the [[Google_Summer_of_Code_2008|community/gsoc/2008]] is
over, and still take place, **every Tuesday and Friday at 19:00 UTC in the `#hurd`
channel**. Of course, the meetings are not only for (former) GSoC students and
mentors, but 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/).

* #hurdfr - French
