What is IRCInternet Relay Chat (abbreviated IRC), in particular the #indiewebcamp channel on the irc.freenode.net server, is the primary community discussion forum for IndieWebCamp and anything about the IndieWeb. People on IRCMain article: IRC-people
See our list of IRC regulars and their normal timezones. The channel has regular administrators, who are also wiki administrators. If you want to get their attention, just say "adminhelp". VoiceUpcoming feature Anyone who has added themselves to the IRC-people list and is also registered with Nickserv will be automatically given "voice" (+v) in the #indiewebcamp channel by Loqi as a way to indicate that you have access and are listed in the wiki. This "user mode" is often represented by a + in front of the persons name in many IRC clients. Note, "voice" has nothing to do with who can/can't talk. Everyone abiding by the Code-Of-Conduct is free to speak their (on topic) mind. Want voice too? Feel free to add yourself to irc-people or ask for help. Logs
