Dear FreeBSD team, My name is Anil C. Gaddam. I am interested in starting an official FreeBSD IRC channel. I will start the channel on Freenode IRC network. Freenode thrives to host many official supports channels for various open-source projects. Currently Freenode is home to Gentto, fedora, and debian. It is also home to widely known projects such as phpbb. Given permission from the appropriate authority, I can host a official channel IRC support channel for Freebsd. This will greatly benifit newbie users and others who are experiencing problems and try to seek a "quick fix".
About freenode: freenode, a service of Peer-Directed Projects Center. PDPC is an IRS 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation. He is how freenode describes it self: In 1998, the network had about 200 users and less than 20 channels. We currently peak at over 20,000 users and contain a wide variety of project channels. It's hard to maintain a friendly IRC environment, and we put a lot of effort into it. It requires social hacks and software hacks. We continue to grow and we'll keep working to ensure that the network remains a productive and a useful place. ===== Sincerely yours, Anil Gaddam. Proud supporter of U.N.
