IRC

There is a well-populated operating systems development IRC channel on Freenode at #osdev. Several regular contributors to the OSDev.org wiki and forums are usually present in the channel.

The easiest way to connect to the channel without an IRC client is through Freenode's AJAX IRC web client. Riot can also be used as a IRC client. This allows having both Matrix rooms and IRC channels in a single client.
