Perhaps the best resource (or at least the most fun for me!) has been working with the people in #Citrix (on IRC, not twitter!) on irc.libera.chat<\/a>. \u00a0If you don’t know about IRC, perhaps you’re ultra young or you lived under a rock, but Wikipedia can help <\/a>you out. \u00a0I invite all readers to join and check out what we have to offer. \u00a0There are a number of ways to get connected.<\/p>\n

Getting Connected<\/h2>\n

Webchat<\/h3>\n
Webchat is available and is available to anyone with a browser by visiting Libera.chat<\/a>. \u00a0Webchat offers the ability to authenticate and pre-join a channel, which can be helpful, but if you’re a frequent visitor you might want to check out some IRC clients<\/a>. \u00a0Once you’ve navigated to the webchat page, simply fill in a username, for the channel type #Citrix click connect and you’ll be ready to chat.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

IRC Client<\/h3>\n
My preferred client at the moment is ChatZilla, which is available either as a Firefox add-on or through a launcher called XULRunner<\/a>. \u00a0ChatZilla has been around a long time and is very mature. \u00a0It includes robust view support, logging, BNC connections and a healthy scripting engine. \u00a0Other popular options include IRSSI, mIRC (shareware, but perhaps the most used client IRC client of all time), xChat (trialware for Windows), and IceChat<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Slack<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
If you prefer using Slack<\/a>, head over to the CitrixIRC Slack page<\/a> to register as a user of the CitrixIRC Slack Team. \u00a0Slack is a collaboration platform that has become popular in recent years and has excellent client support on multiple platforms, including PC, Mac, Web and Mobile. \u00a0Slack supports a variety notifications. \u00a0The integration with IRC is completed via a “bot” that relays all text from IRC to Slack and back. \u00a0If you are in IRC, you will see <WoEUC> Username “text”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Getting Help<\/h2>\n
Remember, we all work (in one form or another I’m sure!) so people aren’t always watching chat. \u00a0When you join, remember to state your product (including version if you can) and question. \u00a0There is no need to ask for permission to ask your question. \u00a0If no one replies right away, stick around and see if someone can help. \u00a0It may not be instant support, but it can beat spamming F5 on the forums.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Becoming a Regular<\/h2>\n
So you’ve joined Libera.chat and #Citrix a few times and decided it is a helpful resource. \u00a0Perhaps your next step is to become a regular!\u00a0 Check out the Libera.chat website for additional tips on getting started.<\/div>\n

You can also check out\u00a0the CitrixIRC<\/a> website!<\/div>\n
