OpenTU.net is the home of the OpenTU IRC Network. It was created in response to complaints and ban threats by some members of the students council for the computer science department (Fachschaft Informatik) directed to #informatikforum, a channel previously at home at frost.htu.tuwien.ac.at.
If you have any complaints about this or another IRC server in the network, direct them to the Salzamt or to the owner of the server.
