**TODO: mailing lists, mastodon server and peertube account.**
User support
============
IRC or Reddit are recommended, if you wish to ask for support (IRC recommended).
See below for information about IRC and Reddit.
Development discussion
======================
Mailing lists are planned for the future. For now, see notes
on [the Git page](git.md) for information about how to assist with development.
Instructions are also on that page for sending patches (via pull requests).
IRC chatroom
============

IRC is the main way to contact the Libreboot project. `#libreboot` on Freenode
IRC.
Webchat:
<https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreboot>
Freenode is one of the oldest IRC networks, used for Free Software projects.
Find more about them here: <https://freenode.net/>
If you wish to connect using your preferred client (such as weechat or irssi),
the connection info is as follows:
* Server: `chat.freenode.net`
* Channel: `#libreboot`
* Port (TLS): `6697`
* Port (non-TLS): `6667`
We recommend that you use port `6697` with TLS encryption enabled.
Here are some guides for various IRC clients:

You can use Tor, when connecting to Freenode. This may be beneficial, because
Freenode is censored in some countries. Read this article:
