# 2017-08-27 07:28:02.874607 UTC (+0000) Bitreich on IRC The IRC structure of bitreich has changed massively since its inception last year. ## Freenode Group We are now an official registered group at freenode. This allows us to reserve the »#bitreich‐« channels. It also allows us to have cloaks for registered users. If you look at the WHO of a user you see user@host. The host can be modified to »bitreich/something1/something2«, where »something1« and »something2« can be defined by us. All members of bi‐ treich can contact me to get one. ## Channels Some new channels appeared. ### #bitreich This is the channel where the idea and manifesto of bitreich started. It was mainly German so it stayed German. To have a more uniform channel naming, it is now a redirect to #bitreich‐en, because mainly English‐ speaking users arrive these days. ### #bitreich-de Here #bitreich and its German users moved. ### #bitreich-en The main channel of bitreich, where the culture and discussions happen. It can be off‐topic, on‐topic, political, everything. Everyone is wel‐ come, if you like the bitreich manifesto. ### #bitreich-scm This channel is for discussing changes and patches and simply to see new changes to the projects in your IRC client instantly. ### #bitreich-radio In this channel you see the currently played title on bitreich radio. ### #bitreich-council This is the hidden channel where the council meets to discuss and have democratic votings. ### #bitreich-con During bitreichcon this channel is used for announcements. All proposals for channels are welcome. But keep in mind: First live in them. Have fun! Sincerely, 20h
