Just to give a balanced view: - some FOSS projects do use oftc, e.g. Debian or BitlBee - one advantage I see at OFTC is that they're small, it's like when on Linux you don't really have to care about worms. Not because on Linux, that's impossible -- just because there are so few Linux desktop users (compared to Windows or OS X) that it's not worth to attack those users. - one disadvantage is that for FOSS projects it's quite intuitive to just /join #<project name> on Freenode -- but this can be worked around by keeping http://frugalware.org/irc up to date. Other than that, I'm neutral -- I already follow projects on both networks, so Frugalware moving there would be really just about adjusting my irssi config. ;-) (Oh, and if we move, possibly some trivial modification to mxw may be needed, so that it recognizes that someone is identified on OFTC, in case they use different syntax.)
