Sugar has a growing community that is ready to help you. Because users and contributors span the globe, a key element to the project is communication.  Mailing lists, forums, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Jabber, and email provide quick and easy ways to communicate.

==Mailing Lists==
+
See our [[:Category:Contact]] Contact category page for additional contacts.

===Starting a new list===
+
See [[:Mailing Lists]].
  
−
The best way to start a new mailing list is to begin a discussion on a current list that's related to the topic. Once the discussion becomes active, ask for a separate list for that topic.
+
== IRC ==
  
−
When a critical mass of people are regularly discussing the same topic, email the following information to the IAEP list:
+
See [[:Internet Relay Chat]].
−
 
 
−
# The name for the new mailing list, with alternative names in case the first one is taken
 
−
# A description of the list, its purpose, and why it's needed (being able to say "we've been talking on this other list for a while, and the discussion has grown too big, see these archive links" is helpful)
 
−
# The name/email of the list administrator, and of at least one other moderator (minimum, one admin and one moderator)
 
−
# At least 10 names/email addresses of people who want to be the initial subscribers

== IRC, Internet Relay Chat ==
 
−
Most Sugar Labs chat takes place on IRC (see [[wikipedia:IRC|Internet Relay Chat]]).
 
−
* You can use a computer-based client to log in to IRC (such as [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4029 Sugar IRC activity], [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin], [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]). This link should work for such clients, irc://irc.freenode.net#sugar.
 
−
* Or, use a browser add-on (like [http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 ChatZilla] for the FireFox web browser, where the above link will also work).
 
−
* Easiest, might be this web browser-based service provided by Mibbit to [http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=eca51beb20994623b5ce425dacc8511f&server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23sugar&noServerNotices=true&noServerMotd=true&autoConnect=true chat on #sugar now].
 
−
*: It even includes in-line '''language translation''', if needed. Connections via mibbit are no longer supported on freenode. You may wish to consider using http://webchat.freenode.net instead. Further information over at http://bit.ly/19JILF
 
−
 
 
−
IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion 'channels', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well. 
 
−
 
 
−
The Sugar Labs Community uses a series of ''channels'' in the '''<tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>''' network.

=== How to use IRC channels ===
 
−
* A web-based chat for all channels is [http://www.mibbit.com Mibbit], with nickname: (whatever you like), server: irc.freenode.net, and channel: #sugar (or whatever other channel you're trying to get into). It also includes an in-line '''translation''' service that is helpful when other languages are used. Connections via mibbit are no longer supported on freenode. You may wish to consider using http://webchat.freenode.net instead. Further information over at http://bit.ly/19JILF
 
−
* Some helpful resources are [http://www.mirc.com/irc.html here], and [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html this tutorial], which also includes basic commands.
 
−
* Learn about IRC etiquette. Try [http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/etiquette.html here], [http://www.livinginternet.com/r/ru_chatq.htm here], or [http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/IRC_Etiquette here].
 
−
* For IRC under sugar, install the latest '''[http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4029 Sugar IRC]''' activity.
 
−
* In Pidgin you can configure IRC and then Add a Chat to your Buddy list. Select the IRC channel from the drop-down menu, and enter the name of the channel. You can set Pidgin to open channels automatically whenever it starts up.
 
−
* In a traditional IRC client, you join a channel with the /join command, for example, enter <code>/join #sugar</code> in the input box.
 
−
* Connect to one of the above channels, and say hello. You will see a list of the handles (on-line names) of the people in the channel, and the conversation will appear in a scrolling window. Type your message in the command entry area, and press return.

* Instructions for using the meeting log robot: [[OLPC:User:Dogi/meeting]]

While the OLPC XO-1 is designed with mesh wireless networking built in (where users can connect to each other without having a central wireless internet router/connection), Sugar users around the world may not be able to connect with others using the platform unless it's through the Internet, since mesh networking relies on a concentration of users (for example, in a classroom, school or business environment).
+
Jabber networks may link Sugar users to each other in order to chat, interact and collaborate. There are global Sugar Jabber networks, or regional ones hosted by organizations and individuals around the world. You can choose whichever Jabber network you wish to connect to. Connecting Sugar to one of these networks may greatly enhance your Sugar experience.
