	[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat Internet Relay Chat] (IRC) is an online system of communication. It is a form of instant communication over the Internet. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication. The basic means of communication in an established IRC session is a channel. Users can join to channels (using the command /join #channelname) and then send messages to it, which are then relayed to all other users in the same channel. Users access IRC networks by connecting a client to a server. There are many client and server implementations. Most IRC servers do not require users to log in, but a user will have to set a nickname before being connected.

	The GRASS community uses the dedicated channel ([irc://irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~/grass #grass] on irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~), feel free to join. There are many other geo related channels such as [irc://irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~/gdal #gdal], [irc://irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~/qgis #qgis], [irc://irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~/mapserver #mapserver], [irc://irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~/osgeo #osgeo], [irc://irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~/proj #proj] etc. The German speaking FOSSGIS (former GAV) community uses the channel [irc://irc.~~freenode~~.~~net~~/fossgis #fossgis].
