Hi,

Well.... the irc channel is still active and has advantages as well. Not everyone wishes to move either. Before officially moving over I'd like to see a good agreement in place how to keep the chat channels friendly and troll free.

- Are there good options to manage trolls and bans? If so, can we find a 24/7 coverage of moderators or 'ops' to manage channels?

Thanks,

-Ton-

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.

Hello everybody,

Last week during the Homestretch Sprint at the Blender Institute we
discussed the visibility of Blender development. One of the things we
want to improve is the clarity of decision making and visibility of
discussions between developers. Since IRC is getting less and less known
to new developers, we thought we might move the blendercoders channel to
blender.chat (which is a web-based chat system).

Of course we first want to have a few weeks to try it out and see if we
really like it. So, head over to
https://blender.chat/channel/blender-coders, log in with your Blender ID
account, and chat away!

If you have any issues, please let me know in a private mail or via
blender.chat.

Just for clarity: we will only move away from IRC if there is
considerable support for this move.

Best,
