| Most Sugar Labs chat takes place on IRC (see [[wikipedia:IRC|Internet Relay Chat]]).

| * The [[Activities/IRC|'''IRC activity''']] allows access to IRC from within the Sugar environment.
| |
| * You can use a computer-based client to log in to IRC, such as [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin] or [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]. This link should work for such clients: irc://irc.freenode.net#sugar
| |
| * Or, use a browser add-on, such as [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/circ/bebigdkelppomhhjaaianniiifjbgocn?hl=en-US CIRC] (for Chrome). Current versions of Firefox are no longer compatible with add-ons, so ChatZilla will only work if you are using a sufficiently older version of Firefox.
| |
| * Easiest, might be this web browser-based service provided by freenode through qwebirc to [http://chat.sugarlabs.org chat on #sugar now].

| IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion 'channels', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well.
| | == Matrix == |
|
| |
|
| The Sugar Labs Community uses a series of ''channels'' in the '''<tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>''' network.
| | Some Sugar Labs communication happens on the [https://matrix.org/ Matrix] network. Matrix is designed for group communication in discussion ''channels'', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well. |
|
| |
|
| ==== IRC channel discussion archives ====
| | The Sugar Labs community has a ''Space'' hosted on the '''<tt>matrix.org</tt>''' instance: '''#sugar-labs:matrix.org''' |
|
| |
|
| * Archives of many Sugar-related IRC channels are generated automatically by an IRC bot and are indexed [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/ here].
| | The easiest way to connect to Matrix is using the [https://element.io Element] app, available for web browsers, desktops and mobile devices. |

| |
| * A web-based chat for freenode.net channels is [http://webchat.freenode.net qwebirc], with nickname: (whatever you like), and channel: #sugar (or whatever other channel you're trying to get into).
| |
| * A web-based chat for other channels is [http://www.mibbit.com Mibbit], with nickname: (whatever you like), server: irc.oftc.net, and channel: #schoolserver (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 '''[[Activities/IRC|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. | | * Connect to one of the above channels, and say hello.
