Hi Brooklyners,

I noticed from the latest edition of the "TLDR" newsletter
that there have been what sounds like significant changes
to Freenode:

"Developers Flee Open Source Project After ‘Takeover’ By Korean Crown
Prince (7 minute read)

"Freenode is a large open-source project that runs Internet Relay Chat
networks. The entire network was recently purchased by Andrew Lee, the
Crown Prince of Korea. A dozen Freenode staff volunteers have resigned,
saying that they believe Lee took over the network under false pretenses.
It is unknown what effect the changes in the Freenode network will have on
developers around the world. The former Freenode staff members have
launched a new chat network to continue Freenode's mission."


As you know our IRC channel is on Freenode; I'm not saying we have to do
anything but we might want to keep an eye on the matter...

Regards
Geoff
