ApacheCon IRC Channels

Before, during, and after the conference, you are encouraged to join the #apachecon channel on IRC. An IRC bot called "faqtoid" is available for you to answer questions about ApacheCon sessions, e.g., you can search for sessions about XML by saying "faqtoid sessions about xml" on the channel. Use "faqtoid help" for further information.
In addition, there are dedicated channels for each session track. These are named #actrack1, #actrack2, #actrack3, and #actrack4. So for example if you are attending a session in room "Karlsruhe" then you may join other attendees of that session on IRC channel #actrack3. Freenode is the official IRC network of ApacheCon.
