The OFTC was founded in late 2001, by and large by people who were previously working on [[freenode]]. OFTC is ruled by a written constitution and the staff elect the officers among each other using a voting mechanism. OFTC became a member project of [[Software in the Public Interest]] in July 2002, and SPI became the legal owner of the project's [[Internet ___domain]]s.

The IRC network itself runs the oftc-ircd software, which is a branch (patchset) of [[ircd-hybrid]] version 7. Notably, it supports [[Transport Layer Security|SSL]] and [[IPv6]] connections. The network also runs the [[IRC services]] NickServ and ChanServ, among others.
