Hi all, A lot of people been testing this for two weeks now, and most developer discussion has already moved to blender.chat. Feedback from developers is very positive.
I propose to make it the official Blender chat channel, which would mean: * Update links on blender.org to point to blender.chat/channel/blender-coders as the main channel, with IRC as secondary. * Weekly meetings would take place on blender.chat. * The IRC channel would remain but clearly point to blender.chat in the topic as the main channel. * Blender developers can still use IRC, but it's optional and over time likely few will remain active there. If anyone has objections or concerns, please let us know. If not, we can confirm this officially. Thanks, Brecht. On Mon, Apr 15, 2019 at 6:30 PM dr. Sybren A.
