Official channels

Unlike in the past, there is no official IRC channel for FPC. There are at least two FPC related channels on irc.libera.chat server - #fpc and #fpc-alt (plus the accompanying ##fpc-alt channel intended for discussion off-topic in the main channel). It should be noted that the FPC core team has no control over either of these channels.

Unofficial channels

irc.libera.chat

#fpc-alt

Rules of the #fpc-alt channel (moderated by Steve Litt) are very simple: Treat your fellow channel inhabitants like you'd like to be treated.
