IRC chat

The Linuxchix community has an IRC server - find it at irc.linuxchix.org

Please read the beginner's guide if you are new to IRC; if you have xchat, read connecting to LinuxChix IRC with xchat.

Please read the IRC etiquette guide if you are new to Linuxchix IRC.

Channels

There are several channels on the LinuxChix IRC server. The most populous is #linuxchix. That channel is designed as a real-time avenue for Linuxchix to talk about all things relevant to Linuxchix. Of course, this spans the wide range of all of our interests. The channel is for technical support for using Linux, friendly conversations and discussions of Linux, technology, and all sorts of other topics.

The other channels, which have much less activity, are generally for more specific topics. For instance, #grrls-only means just that, women only. #tech is generally saved for detailed technical conversations, and #programming also for programming conversations. Some chapters have an IRC channel as well, and other channels are created when needed. Check the public list of channels (/list).

Operators

The public channels on the IRC server have channel "ops" - to find who they are, use: /msg chanserv access [channelname] list

If you establish a new channel that is intended to be permanent, please register it before you drop ops: "/msg chanserv help register" will guide you through the process.
