Information About

Open And Free Technology Community




The Open and Free Technology Community ('''OFTC''') is an IRC Network which is particularly popular with the Free Software Community .

The OFTC was founded in late 2001, by and large by people who were previously working on Freenode . OFTC is ruled by a written constitution and the staff elect the officers among each other using a voting mechanism. OFTC became a member project of Software In The Public Interest in July 2002, and SPI became the legal owner of the project's Internet Domain s.

The IRC network itself runs the oftc-ircd software, which is a branch (patchset) of Ircd-hybrid version 7. Notably, it supports SSL and IPv6 connections. The network also runs the IRC Services NickServ and ChanServ, among others.
