Along with the rest of the Ubuntu project, Ubuntu-Au makes use of the [http://www.freenode.net/ freenode] IRC servers. Most of the communication outside of the mailing list, as well as the fortnightly Ubuntu-Au meetings, takes place in the Ubuntu-Au IRC channel. A lot of general chat also takes place here. Like many other Ubuntu teams, Ubuntu-Au uses [wiki:InternetRelayChat IRC] as a form of communication. Most of the communication outside of the mailing list, as well as the fortnightly Ubuntu-Au meetings, take place in the Ubuntu-Au IRC channels:

You can connect to the Ubuntu-Au IRC channel using IRC clients such as Gaim Internet Messenger or XChat, by pointing your client to '''irc.freenode.net:6667''' and joining the '''#ubuntu-au''' channel.  * '''#ubuntu-au''' is for questions about Ubuntu itself. If you need technical support, you may ask here.
 * '''#ubuntu-au-chat''' is for everything else. This is a social place for the Ubuntu-Au community to congregate and chat.

The Ubuntu-Au community is a very friendly one. The downside is that the energetic chatter can have the side effect of drowning out newcomers seeking assistance and support.

'''Be respectful.''' The Ubuntu community and its members treat one another with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Ubuntu. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.

Ubuntu-Au IRC

Like many other Ubuntu teams, Ubuntu-Au uses [wiki:InternetRelayChat IRC] as a form of communication. Most of the communication outside of the mailing list, as well as the fortnightly Ubuntu-Au meetings, take place in the Ubuntu-Au IRC channels:

  • #ubuntu-au is for questions about Ubuntu itself. If you need technical support, you may ask here.

  • #ubuntu-au-chat is for everything else. This is a social place for the Ubuntu-Au community to congregate and chat.

You can connect to the Ubuntu-Au IRC channel using IRC clients such as Pidgin Internet Messenger (Formerly Gaim) or XChat, by pointing your client to irc.freenode.net:6667 and joining the channels listed above.

Why two channels? The Ubuntu-Au community is a very friendly one. The downside is that the energetic chatter can have the side effect of drowning out newcomers seeking assistance and support. Like several other local community teams, we maintain a separate channel for off-topic discussion, keeping the main channel free for those who need help. Please help the Ubuntu-Au team by sticking around in the main channel to help passers-by and welcome them into the community.

IRC Ops

IRC Ops are people in an IRC channel who have extra privileges and responsibilities. They are the people to call for any trouble in a channel. To get their attention, type !ops into the channel.
