Hi!
Glad to meet you (and somewhat impressed, I must admit).
The FSF and GNU are moving to libera.chat https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2021-06/msg00005.html As most channels already moved over the past weeks (#bootstrappable, #emacs, #guile, #guix, #hurd, #ubuntu*, ...) I suggest for #lilypond to also move (or "stay" with the original freenode staff as some call it). In anticipation of that (as most channels already moved), I have created a #lilypond channel on libera.chat and applied for an official registration. Patches for the website attached.
Like David, seconded. The move seems to have been a no-brainer in many projects (including Python, which is large enough for them not to make this decision on a whim!). It looks like Freenode made spectacularly bad decisions lately. Blocking channels because they mentioned the libera.chat alternative… Note that I don't know whether anyone actually uses the channel (I don't). It can't hurt to move it, though. [David:]
+1, good thinking. Anybody else opening a vicarious issue for carrying along the patch, or should I do the honors?
Here you go: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/799 (as a superficial detail, I squashed the commits just to follow modern practice of updating English documentation and translations at one time).
Greetings, Janneke
A side question: do I understand it correctly that Jan is your formal name and Janneke your nickname? I'm asking because a former contributor was called Janek, which confused me a lot in the first times. Best regards, Jean
