The ``#openstack`` channel is available for +discussion of any OpenStack related topic, and ``#openstack-dev`` +likewise for development topics. + +Many projects also have their own channels, though this is not +required. + +As a community we strive for open communication that accommodates many +schedules, styles, cultures, and preferences. We maintain IRC +channels for real-time communication as a primary use-case. But, +since asynchronous communication is also necessary considering our +community lives around the globe, we want logs of that communication +with expectations that all our IRC channels are open to everyone. + +All OpenStack related channels shall be logged and made publicly +accessible and attempts to notify channel users of that fact shall be +undertaken.
