IRC

Most of the day-to-day communication among active MariaDB developers is done using IRC.

The Maria project's official channel is #maria on Freenode. The channel #maria-meeting is used for official meetings. In the interest of users, we hope not to have a separate channel for developers. Users are asked to keep their best interests in mind when interacting with busy developers in our big tent.

If you have never used IRC before, this page will help get you up and running:
