On #openstack-kolla we, kolla cores, help users (being or becoming OpenStack operators) with kolla-based deployments. I observed a nice trend that users give us positive feedback about our support efforts, stick to the channel and help other users as well. That's the spirit. As for ask, I don't have any positive experience with it. Most support efforts that I saw end like the one below: https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/124531/how-to-install-kolla-ansible-wi... so it's a bit discouraging. Personally I would vote +1 for archiving the ask, seemingly doing more bad than good these days. -yoctozepto pt., 17 sty 2020 o 05:00 Tony Pearce <tony.pearce@cinglevue.com> napisał(a):
I had not discovered the channels like openstack-ansible. I just googled for the channel list. "openstack" is described as being meant for general questions. When I need to I'll try and use a more specific topic channel. Thanks for the advice.
For reference, the channel list is https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/IRC

With regards to IRC - in my experience, once you get passed the authentication problems and often session timeout/kick out, you see the chat room with 300 people but no one chatting or answering. Kind of reduces the worth of the chatroom this way in my opinion. Although, I am in Australia so the timezone I am in could be a contributor.
I'm also in Australia, but my IRC experience has been different from yours. I find that the individual, project-specific OpenStack IRC channels are a great resource, often attended by really helpful experts. 'openstack-ansible' 'openstack-ironic' 'openstack-qa' etc.
Also, I keep a teeny tiny VM running in Google's cloud (AU 20 cents a month) to run quassel core so I have a 24/7 IRC connection to channels I watch so that people can reply to me while I'm asleep and I can catch up the next day.
