These channels are maintained by Openbravo and a community of volunteers. Do not expect commercial support when you ask for help. If you can contribute your experience, please do not hesitate to do it. Even if an answer is incomplete, it's a start.

Recommendations

Openbravo IRC channels

Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, is the precursor to instant messaging and chat rooms like those found on Yahoo! and innumerable other web sites. It is one of the best ways to get help fast but it is also a way to hang out and become part of the Openbravo community.

As many other open source projects, Openbravo has its own discussion channel that allows real time communication between the different community members where they can exchange quickly ideas, doubts and projects.

Software

There are many open source clients. These are some of the most popular ones, available for Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux and *BSD:

Joining #openbravo via browser

If you're unable to use the IRC clients listed above you can join #openbravo using the Webchat @ Freenode

Registering nicks

Freenode allows users to register their nicks in order to keep them between sessions and avoid vandalism.

To register your nick send a message with your password to the nick server.

/msg NickServ REGISTER Password

Once the nick is registered you should identify to the nick server every time that you connect using the following command:

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY Password

Note that due to recent Freenode's spam policies, only registered users can send private messages to other users. In case you want to get messages from unregistered users, type the following command:

/msg NickServ SET UNFILTERED ON

Netiquette

Although IRC is mostly unrestricted, there are certain rules/etiquette everyone must follow:

Note of gratitude

Openbravo wants to thank the people behind irc.freenode.net for providing the infrastructure for supporting our channel.
