There are many MySQL related IRC discussion channels as the ecosystem itself grows. I join the following. Are there any that I’m missing?
Freenode (irc.freenode.net):
- #mysql – main channel for all kinds of end user MySQL related discussions (the noisiest of the lot, naturally)
- #maria – main channel for all kinds of MariaDB related discussions
- #webscalesql – for all kinds of WebScaleSQL discussions
- #percona – main channel for all kinds of Percona related discussions
- #tokutek – main channel for Tokutek discussions (TokuDB or TokuMX)
- SkySQL-specific channels: #maxscale and #mariadb-mgr
OFTC (irc.oftc.net):
- #debian-mysql – for all kinds of Debian MySQL related bits (packaging, bugs, etc.)
