== IRC client practice: joining the OpenHatch channel ==
During this workshop we'll get practice using IRC and help each other as we contribute to projects in the <tt>#openhatch</tt> channel on the <tt>Freenode</tt> network.
To join it, scroll down in the ''Network list'' and find the Freenode network. Select it by clicking, then click ''Connect''.
Once you connect, you'll need to join the #openhatch channel.
Given that information, and reviewing the X-Chat overview above, use X-Chat to connect to Freenode and join the OpenHatch channel. Pick any nickname you like. :) Once you have joined the channel, say hello!
