# Ubuntu IRC

## Description
Logs of all discussions on the [Ubuntu-hosted Internet Relay Chat](https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/) (IRC) since 2004 have been archived and released into the Public Domain.
We downloaded all chats from all channels up until March of 2025.
We consider all messages for given channel on a given day as a single document.
We removed system messages as well as those from known bots.

## Dataset Statistics
| Documents | UTF-8 GB |
|-----------|----------|
| 329,115 | 6.3 |

## License Issues
While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see [our paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.05209)). If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please [start a discussion](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile/discussions/new) on this repository.

## Other Versions
This is the "raw" version of the Ubuntu IRC dataset.
