After you get onto freenode at IRC you can register your nickname with a
single command and then you should be able to join any of the channels. The
command you need: ' /msg nickserv register $PASSWORD $EMAIL_ADDRESS'. You
can find more instructions here about setting up IRC[1].

If you get stuck or have any questions, please let me know! I am happy to
help with the setup of IRC or gerrit or anything else that might be a
barrier.
