UbuntuFreshersDay

Ubuntu Freshers Day

Friday 1st December 2006 is Ubuntu Freshers Day. On this special day, the #ubuntu-freshers IRC channel will be open for anyone to come in and ask any questions they like about the community. This day will not have structured tutorial sessions like the rest of the Ubuntu Open Week, but instead be an open channel in which we encourage any level of question about being part of the community.

Joining the channel

Use your IRC client (such as xchat, irssi or mIRC) to connect to the Freenode IRC network at irc.freenode.net. You can do this manually by typing:

 /server irc.freenode.net 

Then join the #ubuntu-freshers channel. You can do this manually by typing:

 /join #ubuntu-freshers
