IRC

There is a lisp channel at Freenode (formerly the Open Projects Network) where several lispers waste time. It's an excellent place to share stories from the trenches, get help from experienced lispers and chat about things lispers care about. To log on, connect to irc.freenode.net (or use the alias irc.lisp.se). There exists a highly opinionated guide to setting up Lisp here.

#lisp

The #lisp channel is logged. Logs are also available in a plain text format here, and elaborate (searchable) format at ircbrowse.com. An infobot bot called minion (part of cl-irc) is in the channel, logging and helping to remember things. It also has a bit of an attitude. An infobot called specbot is in the channel, and can help with searching the Hyperspec - try saying "clhs: " for making a query in the Hyperspec

#cl-gardeners

This channel belongs to the Common Lisp Gardeners Project. #lisp is usually a place for high-level discussion by experienced Lisp programmers, whereas newbie questions are explicitly always welcome in #cl-gardeners, and all folks that are interested in beginners discussion are invited to join that channel. Here are the logs.

Recently, #cl-gardeners has had a much smaller population, possibly because the name is hard to guess, and traffic has been slight. Newcomers who are sane and stick to the point are usually perfectly welcome at #lisp, and are more likely to find someone who can answer their questions.

#lispcafe

A less formal channel for lisp-oriented discussion, socialization, community support at all levels of experience. Gurus and newbie lispers are welcome alike, as is any lisp dialect and probably other languages as well. We just ask that you be cool to each other.

#Lisp.Fi

#Lisp.Fi is a channel for Finnish Lisp users in IRCNet network. We welcome all Lisp newbies and gurus alike from every dialect of Lisp family to join us and have nice discussions.

#lisp-fr

#lisp-fr is a channel for francophone Lisp users in IRCNet network. We welcome all francophone lisp newbies and gurus alike from every dialect of the Lisp family to join us and have nice discussions.

#Lisp-it

#Lisp-it is a low-traffic channel in italian language on the FreeNode network (irc.freenode.net) either for lisp newbie either for more expert ones. Join and meet us to explain how and why you use any lisp dialect or to ask a technical question.

A friendly place to talk about common lisp.
