OFTC currently develops 3 projects for its purposes: oftc-hybrid our IRC daemon, oftc-ircservices our IRC services suite, and oftc-oftcdns a geoip dns responder to handle user distribution across our servers. OFTC uses [[Trac]] for its source browsing and bug tracking. Prospective users of the software can find tarball releases at http://www.oftc.net/releases/. Developers contributing to the code base should read and be familiar with [[Subversion (software)|Subversion]].
=== IRCd ===
OFTC runs the oftc-hybrid software, which is a branch (patchset) of [http://www.ircd-hybrid.com/ ircd-hybrid] version 7. Notably, it supports [[IPv6]] connections, [[Transport Layer Security|SSL]] connections (certificates are signed, indirectly, by [[Software in the Public Interest]]'s (SPI) certification authority), and supports [http://www.oftc.net/oftc/NickServ/CertFP CertFP] which allows [[NickServ]] services authentication using [[Transport Layer Security|SSL]] client certificates. In the repository, /trunk is where the next version of oftc-hybrid is being developed. The version that is currently in use on the network can be found in /branches/oftc-hybrid-1.5. Users and developers can browse source, submit, and view bugs at http://trac.oftc.net/projects/oftc-hybrid.
=== Services ===
OFTC created a new suite of services based on the core of [http://www.ircd-hybrid.com/ hybrid-services] to ease integration into our network. In the repository, /trunk tracks our new features, while /branches/oftc-ircservices-1.0 tracks the current version linked into the network. Users and developers can browse source, submit and view bugs at http://trac.oftc.net/projects/oftc-ircservices.
=== DNS ===
OFTC uses a system based on [[Python (programming language)|Python]] and twistd-names to manage even distribution among its [[IRC network]] based on geoip ___location and server and network statistics. Users and developers can browse source, submit and view bugs at http://trac.oftc.net/projects/oftc-tools.
