  It is IRC network, people who like free software chat there freely and help each other, it is like support for anything related to free software projects. See here:https://freenode.net/ https://freenode.net/ and connect by using IRC chat client.

  Congratz, you found the crux of the matter. There's a volunteer community called freenode, an IRC network called freenode, and a private company called freenode, and nobody seems to be able to agree on who owns what.

    Well, the servers are owned by the sponsors, and the sponsors have informal agreements with the staffers who are no longer with Freenode. Freenode Ltd (which apparently will cease to exist in a few weeks due to Lee's lack of taking care of company admin) apparently owns the domain name. Lee owns Freenode Ltd. Other than that there is nothing to own.
