+ All of our channels are managed by volunteers for the mutual benefit of users and contributors alike, and we consider IRC to be open to everyone.
+ Please feel free to pop in and introduce yourself, and consider it a resource for when you run into problems or have questions about Gentoo Linux.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ We ask very little of users visiting our support channels:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Please act sensibly and maturely, abiding by the <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/Code_of_conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.</li>
+ <li>Please read the topic when entering a channel, it contains valuable information!</li>
+ <li>Bots or scripts that talk or create public logs are not welcome in most channels. If in doubt, please ask.</li>
+ <li>Please do not use <kbd>CTCP VERSION</kbd> or the like on users/channels without their consent.</li>
+</ul>

+ <strong>Got a question? <tt>#gentoo</tt> is here to help.</strong>
+ <br>
+ With more than 1,000 connected users, it is one of the largest channels on freenode, and it <strong>focuses on Gentoo support.</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To ensure an optimal support environment, there are a few additional <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Ops#Channel_Policy">guidelines</a> in place.
+ These are the most important ones:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>We operate a clean-language policy in <tt>#gentoo</tt>, and swearing is not permitted.</li>
+ <li>We are unable to support alternate package managers in <tt>#gentoo</tt>, just Portage.</li>
+ <li>Users of derivative distributions based upon Gentoo are asked to use their distribution's support venues, we can not provide them with assistance.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The channel is staffed by the <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Ops">Operators team</a>;
+ if there are any problems, please contact them in <a href="irc://irc.gentoo.org/gentoo-ops"><tt>#gentoo-ops</tt></a>.
