How to connect to La Quadrature's channel ?

The IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a protocol that allows live chatting with other users by logging in with a special software (named client) to an IRC server. Anyone connected like that can chat on public or private rooms.

There are some IRC client, here are the more common ones :

      xChat - multiplateform
      irssi - multiplateform
      mIRC - Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2k/XP/Vista
      ...

If you don't want to / cannot install an IRC client on your computer, there are other ways to log in.
For example, you can join us through this applet: http://www.laquadrature.net/chat
If you don't have java, an ajax applet is available here: http://webchat.freenode.net/

Connection

First you have to log into the server:

/server irc.freenode.net

Then you have to chose a nickname:

/nick [your_nick]

After that, you can join a chat room:

/join #laquadrature
