FWIW I struggled to get back onto IRC following the recent switch of openstack channels to requiring registration. A big part of the problem is I never learned "real IRC" (apart from anything else real IRC is entirely banned where I work). So in case this is useful to anyone else in a similar situation:
What eventually worked for me is using the `webchat.freenode.net interface to do the nickname registration mentioned here: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration Once I received the resulting email and typed the provided validation command (also on webchat.freenode.net), I was then able to use my credentials to configure my normal client (irccloud in my case) and go to the #openstack-operators channel with my normal nickname. What did not work for me is trying to msg nickserv from the command-line IRC client (irssi). I can't send a message to nickserv without connecting, and (it seems to me anyway) can't connect without a nickname. Seems a bit chicken and egg to this IRC newbie. See you (back) on our IRC channel!
