== How to get started with IRC ==

If you're reading this you're probably new to IRC. I was new too, so I'll try to help you.

IRC is pretty simple - it's a system to talk to people online instantly - just like instant messaging like AIM, gtalk (aka Jabber), or MSN. It's commonly used to talk to a bunch of people at once, and that's how sugar labs uses it as well.

Just like with instant messaging, you can use software that runs on your computer or through a website.

To chat via a website, click here: http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=eca51beb20994623b5ce425dacc8511f&server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23sugar&noServerNotices=true&noServerMotd=true&autoConnect=true

There's a list of IRC clients that you can install and run on your computer here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients

I have only used XChat and Colloquoy

__NOTOC__
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, IRC , Jabber and email provide quick and easy ways to communicate.

==Mailing Lists==

The full list of mailing lists is at '''http://lists.sugarlabs.org'''. Sometimes they multiply when one isn't watching.

A web-view of mailing lists in a fourm-like interface can be found at [http://n2.nabble.com/SugarLabs-f1511649.html Nabble]. Keep in mind that using Nabble has the following limitations:
* Nabble does not support posting to more than one mailing list at a time (cross-posting)
* Nabble does not index all sugar lists
* The authoritive record is on lists.sugarlabs.org

===General List===
* [http://lists.lo-res.org/mailman/listinfo/its.an.education.project It's an Education Project] - The primary education mailing list (see [[Sugar Labs/SOM#It.27s_An_Education_Project_Mailing_List|Self Organising Map]] archive for an overview of past weeks discussions).

===Developer Lists===
* [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel Sugar] - For developers (see [[Sugar Labs/SOM#Sugar_Mailing_List|Self Organising Map]] archive for and overview of past months discussions).

===Starting a new list===

The best way to start a new mailing list is to begin a discussion on a related list that already exists, and once the discussion becomes active, to ask for a separate list for that topic or that sort of traffic.

When you have a critical mass of people regularly talking about the same topic, request a mailing list by emailing the following information to IAEP list:

# The name you want for your mailing list, with alternative names if 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 admin, and of at least one other moderator (minimum one admin and one moderator)
# At least 10 names/emails of people who want to be the initial subscribers

== Forums ==
===Support Forum===
* [http://forum.laptop.org/ Support] - The official support forum for G1G1 and OLPC
:total posts 6.887 • Total topics 1.324 • Total members 1.609 22:56, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

===General Discussion===
* [http://olpcnews.com/forum/ olpcnews] - A popular forum but not frequented by developers
:total posts 20.765 • Total topics 2.332 • Total members 2.754 22:56, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

== Blogs ==
[http://planet.laptop.org OLPC planet] and [http://planet.sugarlabs.org/ Planet Sugar Labs] - Aggregate a number of popular blogs on Sugar and OLPC. See [[blogs]] for a list of these blogs and instructions on adding more blogs to this feed.

== IRC Chat ==
Most SL chat takes place on IRC (that's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC Internet Relay Chat]). You can either use a computer based client to log in to IRC (like [[olpc:XOirc|XOirc]], [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin], [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]) or [http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=eca51beb20994623b5ce425dacc8511f&server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23sugar&noServerNotices=true&noServerMotd=true&autoConnect=true chat online here].

IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion 'channels', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well.

The SugarLabs Community uses a series of ''channels'' in the '''<tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>''' network. Check {{tl|User irc}} to see how to register your participation in the IRC channels within the wiki, and to find the category where users are registered.

==== irc.freenode.net channels ====

|}

=== How to use irc channels ===

* Another web-based chat for all channels is [http://www.mibbit.com mibbit], with nickname: (whatever you like), server: irc.freenode.net, and channel: #olpc-help (or whatever other channel you're trying to get into).
* 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 '''[[olpc:XoIRC|XoIRC]]''' 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
/join #sugar
* 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.

== Jabber Networks ==
While the OLPC 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 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 will greatly enhance your Sugar experience.

*[[How to connect Sugar to a Jabber network]]
*[[Community/A list of Jabber networks around the world]]

==Video==
* [http://www.olpc.tv OLPC TV] is dedicated to collecting videos related to OLPC. The site needs help recoding videos to play in Gnash, the Free Flash viewer.
* [http://www.dailymotion.com/ Dailymotion] have an OLPC-compatible portal at [http://olpc.dailymotion.com/ olpc.dailymotion.com] with videos encoded with the free OGG Theora/Vorbis codecs, and they have OLPC-relevant content.

If you're one of the listed developers, please add your location and the approximate cost of airfare, if you can determine it -- or remove yourself if you've made a proposal but aren't actually interested in attending, or can donate your own travel costs. I tried to roughly sort by number of proposals made (talks to be given).''
