<p>
Several IRC channels are dedicated to Debian's development. They are mainly
hosted on the <url id="&url-openprojects;" name="freenode"> network
(previously known as Open Projects Network).
The <tt>irc.debian.org</tt> DNS entry is an alias to
-<tt>irc.openprojects.net</tt>.
+<tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>.
<p>
The main channel for Debian in general is <em>#debian</em>. This is a large,
general-purpose channel where users can find recent news in the topic and
Some non-English developers' channels exist as well, for example
<em>#debian-devel-fr</em> for
French speaking people interested in Debian's development.
+ <p>
+Channels dedicated to Debian also exist on other IRC networks, notably on
+the <url name="Open and free technology community (OFTC)"
+id="http://www.oftc.net/"> IRC network.
