Information not yet in this thread and what works for me.

IRC server is   irc.debian.org     ( an alias for irc.geo.oftc.net )
Port 6667     ( default for IRC )

choose a "nick"
register your nick  (  might be the command   /register   in your IRC client)

Join chatroom #debian-rust     ( for my configuration I do    /join #debian-rust )
