Devuan Community
Committment and clear, respectful communication is essential for a community to coordinate and maintain a viable OS. Here are the places we meet for discussion, development or just hanging out.
Internet Relay Chat
The most active communication channels live on IRC which is a realtime text chat system that has been around for more than 20 years. IRC has traditionally been the preferred gathering place for free software developers and the Devuan community is no exception. Devuan-related channels are found on the Freenode IRC network:
