| # IRC | |
| Although the preferred means of communication regarding ServiceMix is always the [mailing lists](/community/mailing-lists.html), you can also find most of us hanging out on the [#apache-servicemix channel](irc://irc.freenode.org/#apache-servicemix) on the Codehaus IRC server. Many of us hang out there while we're working because it's a good place to have quick chats. | |
