The goal of the Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community
to build a complete, general-purpose operating system exclusively
from open source software. The Fedora Project is driven by the
individuals that contribute to it. As a tester, developer,
documenter, or translator, you can make a difference. Refer to
<a class="ulink" href="http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora.html" target="_top">http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora.html</a> for
details. For information on the channels of communication for Fedora
users and contributors, refer to <a class="ulink" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate" target="_top">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate</a>.

The Fedora Project also uses several IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
channels. IRC is a real-time, text-based form of communication,
similar to Instant Messaging. With it, you may have conversations
with multiple people in an open channel, or chat with someone
privately one-on-one. To talk with other Fedora Project participants
via IRC, access the Freenode IRC network. Refer to the Freenode
website at
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.freenode.net/" target="_top">http://www.freenode.net/</a>
for more information.
</p><p>
Fedora Project participants frequent the #fedora channel on the Freenode
network, while Fedora Project developers may often be found on the
#fedora-devel channel. Some of the larger projects may have their own
channels as well. This information may be found on the webpage for the
project, and at <a class="ulink" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate" target="_top">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate</a>.
</p><p>
In order to talk on the #fedora channel, you need to
register your nickname, or <em class="firstterm">nick</em>. Instructions
are given when you <code class="command">/join</code> the channel.
