<sect id="irc-channels">IRC channels
<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.freenode.net</tt>.
+hosted on the <url id="&url-oftc;" name="Open and free technology community
+(OFTC)"> network. The <tt>irc.debian.org</tt> DNS entry is an alias to
+<tt>irc.oftc.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
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.
+the <url id="&url-openprojects;" name="freenode"> IRC network, which was
+pointed at by the <tt>irc.debian.org</tt> alias until 4th June 2006.
<p>
To get a cloak on freenode, you send Jörg Jaspert <joerg@debian.org>
a signed mail where you tell what your nick is.
