== IRC client practice: joining the OpenHatch channel ==
 
During this workshop we'll get practice using IRC and help each other as we contribute to project in the <tt>#openhatch</tt> channel on the <tt>Freenode</tt> network.
 
Here are the connection details for joining the Freenode network and the OpenHatch IRC channel:
 
<pre>
IRC server name: irc.freenode.net
channel name: #openhatch
</pre>
 
Given that information, and reviewing the Colloquy overview above, use Colloquy to connect to Freenode and join the OpenHatch channel. Pick any nickname you like. :) Once you have joined the channel, say hello!
