If you’re new to IRC and want to become active in the IRC community, FreeNode IRC can be accessed via http://webchat.freenode.net. However, to learn more about how to actually get connected to IRC, there is a good write-up on finding a good client and connecting to IRC at http://groups.drupal. org/node/2326. You can also watch videos (http://drupal.org/node/424300) about connecting to IRC. This page will show you how to connect to IRC and how to participate in the discussions.

There are a few simple IRC commands that should be used to allow best use of the IRC channels. When you log into IRC, you’re going to want to register your name with NickServ so no one else can

use your nick, and others can gain familiarity with you by you using the same nick. Learn how to register your nick at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup.

As a courtesy to the Druplicon (see ahead) and other members of the chat room, please do not include “Drupal” or any variation of it in your name.

Most people use their Drupal username as their nick in IRC. If that name is already taken on FreeNode, then append a dash or numerals to the name. Many IRC clients will automatically append an underscore to your nick upon join if the name is already taken. Having a familiar nick allows for consistency between IRC and the Drupal site.

If you are using a different name on IRC than on Drupal.org, you may wish to use an IRC cloak. Information on obtaining one is here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/5403.

Videocasts

Sometimes, concepts are difficult to describe but easy to demonstrate. A growing collection of videocasts and screencasts is available at http://drupal.org/videocasts.

Weblogs

Weblogs are online journals. Many Drupal developers have weblogs in which they record their experiences with Drupal.

APPENDIX B RESOURCES

Conferences

The Drupal community gathers at conferences that feature presentations, discussions, and lots of fun. Typically, a conference takes place in the spring in North America and in the fall in Europe. Conferences are a great way to learn about Drupal, make connections, and make new friends. If you have a chance to go, by all means take it. Details can be found at http://drupalcon.org. The #drupalcon IRC channel is used before and during the conference to find and communicate with other attendees.

A code sprint is often scheduled before or after a Drupal conference.

Contribute

Contributors are Drupal’s most valuable asset and are the reason Drupal continues to move forward, not only as a development platform but also as a community.

At http://drupal.org/contribute, you can contribute to Drupal not only through development but also through documentation, translations, usability, donations, marketing, and more. This page is the jumping-off point for contributing to the project at any level.
