Chat with the OWASP Community on IRC
Getting started
For IRC experts: all of these channels are on irc.freenode.net.
For people new to IRC, just access http://webchat.freenode.net/ and join the desired channel.
Register your nick with freenode
When you log into IRC you're going to want to register your name with NickServ so no one else can use your nick, and others can gain familiarity with you by you using the same nick. Learn how to register your nick at [1].
Use the same IRC nick that you use with owasp.org
Most people use their OWASP.org user name as their nick in IRC. If that name is already taken on freenode, then append a dash or numerals to the name. Many IRC clients will automatically append an underscore to your nick upon join if the name is already taken. Having a familiar nick allows for consistency between IRC and the OWASP site.
Recommended IRC clients
Below are a couple of recommended IRC clients.
Webchat : An online IRC client that requires no local software installed
Hexchat: An open source clone of Xchat which is completely free and cross platform
irssi: A terminal based IRC client for UNIX systems
ChatZilla: A clean, easy to use and highly extensible Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client.
Essential Channels to Join
#owasp is a town-hall of sorts. Here, we talk about OWASP projects in general, quick how-to questions, and what we've been doing in the community lately.
#owasp-contribute is the place to go if you want to help with core and contribute coding work, promotion, translation, infrastructure, and general OWASP community tasks. The rule of thumb here: if it ends up on the owasp.org infrastructure, and you are working on it or want to work on it, then this is the place to talk about it.
Topical Channels
#owasp-gsoc is the official OWASP Google Summer of Code channel. Are you a student or mentor interested to participate in GSOC, this is your channel.
#owasp-wcs is the official OWASP Winter Code Sprint channel. Are you a student or mentor interested to participate in WCS, this is your channel.
OWASP Regional Channels
#owasp-spanish is the official OWASP channel for those who hablan espanol.

#owasp-italy is the official OWASP Italy Chapter channel - https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Italy
#owasp-spain is the official OWASP Spain Chapter channel - https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Spain
