      <p>You can get support for Buildroot through three main channels:</p>

		  <p>The Buildroot IRC channel is <a href="irc://irc.oftc.net/#buildroot">
		      #buildroot</a>, hosted on OFTC. If you do not have an IRC client, you can
		    use the <a href="https://www.oftc.net/WebChat/">OFTC web interface</a>. The
		    channel is also bridged to matrix as <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#_oftc_#buildroot:matrix.org">
		      #_oftc_#buildroot:matrix.org</a>.
		    When asking for help on IRC, share relevant logs or pieces of code using a code
		    sharing website.</p>

		  <p>Note that due to excessive spamming on IRC, you can only talk in the
		    channel if you are a registered user with
		    <a href="https://www.oftc.net/Services/">OFTC NickServ</a>
		    service. Follow the instructions to register as a user with a password,
		    and then join the <code>#buildroot</code> channel.</p>
