Line 3:
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.

===IRC client suggestions===
Make your own! IRC is one of the simpler protocols to implement, to the point where it could be the first thing you implement after TCP and Telnet. If there's anything tricky about it, it's calculating the maximum length of the actual text, but you can just use a fixed maximum which allows room for all the other fields at their maximum lengths. Or just ignore it, Freenode seems to handle long messages well. In any case, the standard is [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459 RFC 1459]
Freenode offers an [http://webchat.freenode.net/ AJAX IRC web client] in case you don't have or want to make one.
Other clients:
* [https://pidgin.im/ Pidgin] supports a vast [https://pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type= range] of different chat services in one client
* [https://riot.im Riot] has Matrix and IRC in one package
