- Wikipedia
- Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication and data transfers via private message.
- IRC was created by Jarkko "WiZ" Oikarinen in late August 1988 to replace a program called MUT (MultiUser talk) on a BBS called OuluBox in Finland. Oikarinen found inspiration in a chat system known as Bitnet Relay, which operated on the BITNET.
- IRC gained prominence when it was used to report on the Soviet coup attempt of 1991 throughout a media blackout. It was previously used in a similar fashion by Kuwaitis during the Iraqi invasion. Relevant logs are available from ibiblio archive.
- IRC client software is available for virtually every computer operating system.

The OLPC Community uses a series of channels in the irc.freenode.net network.
Channels
- #olpc — general contact point for all things olpc
- While a general contact point, it does not currently seem a place for general discussion. Its current primary role seems to be support of the core olpc team, and other use appears brief and discouraged. Understandably - clutter would interfere with that role. There does not currently appear to be a channel for general community formation (aka chatting) and discussion. #olpc-content is sometimes used, but has a much smaller population. This seems a significant problem, but I'm unclear on how to address it. MitchellNCharity 08:15, 4 June 2007 (EDT)
- #olpc-content — content related matters
- #sugar — Sugar related matters
- #olpc-talk — If #olpc is a room where people are working, then #olpc-talk is the hallway where conversation can be moved when it gets noisy or random, or folks just want focus on work. (Created 2007-06-04 - may or may not catch on)
Also:
- #olpc-xx (where xx is a language code), and #olpc-country.
- #olpc-es — Spanish language channel. Mostly OLPC Spanish America.
- #olpc-peru — Peru and OLPC Spanish America subjects (most likely to be in Spanish)
- #olpc-brasil — Brazil (note the spelling with the 's' - português)
- #olpc-ro — OLPC Romania
And:
- #OLPC-Dictionary — related to the omegawiki.org children's dictionary for the olpc
- #tam_tam — TamTam (Inactive?)
