Hi all, We are now officially leaving Freenode IRC. Our primary communication channel is now Matrix, with a Libera.Chat bridge available for all corresponding rooms. You can find all of the room details here: https://pulpproject.org/2021/06/08/pulp-leaving-freenode/ You're welcome to join in our ongoing discussion over on GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/pulp/community/discussions/2
Looking forward to seeing you on Matrix!
