IRC channels

Come chat in real-time with RDO users on IRC on the OFTC server:

  • #rdo: Any general conversation about RDO, including developer issues and user questions. (Transcripts.)

  • #openstack: Remember that RDO is just a small part of a larger community. Questions about OpenStack in general, not specifically about RDO, should go to the upstream channel. (Transcripts.)

Come chat in real-time with the CentOS Cloud SIG on IRC on the Libera Chat server:

  • #centos-cloud: If you have questions about the CentOS Cloud Special Interest Group (SIG) and the parts of the RDO infrastructure that run in the CentOS Community Build System (cbs), this is where you're most likely to get answers.
  • #centos-devel: If you have questions about the CentOS Project
