About the Network
You've reached freenode, a service of
Peer-Directed Projects Center (PDPC).
freenode provides discussion facilities for the Free and Open Source
Software communities, for not-for-profit organizations and for related
communities and organizations. In 1998, the network had about 200 users
and less than 20 channels. Ten years down the line the network currently
peaks at just over 70,000 users,
freenode
provides facilities to a variety of
groups and organizations.
Our 2011/12 fundraiser is in progress. Get involved! Donations help to support the runnings costs of PDPC, the organisation which runs freenode.
