Open Projects Network

This network was founded by Robert 'lilo' Levin in the hope to help the Free Software community

Open Projects Net's focus includes open source and free software applications and operating systems, open hardware, open standards, free technology, technological education, public domain advocacy, literacy, open access for the disabled and public access to art. Its slogan sums up the focus: Open source, open technology, open information.

The basis for this network are sponsored machines and bandwidth all over the world that host an IRC daemon for means of online communication. Since then a lot of developers and users have joined channels on this network.

Servers

This network consists of IRC server all around the world. Many of them are aliased to one or more virtual servers. With round-robin-dns you'll connect to either of them when you use one of the generic names from the following (incomplete) list.

To receive the entire listing, try host -l openprojects.net.

Channels

A couple of large projects have joined OPN and use the network for project specific channels and user support. The following list is only an excerpt. Please use the /list command for an entire listing of all public channels.

The following list is only a small except. Most large projects maintain a number of channels for their communication.
