Hi, annoying email that i wish i never had to send... To ensure continuity, #linux-sunxi on OFTC was registered, and the existing (active) linux-sunxi founders and ops are added to chanserv already (2 left to go, hope they read irc/email soon). This should hopefully provide the stability that we have enjoyed for almost 9 years... Once the founders have talked through some more things, some usual suspects will be added as ops, as we might need them now that we no longer have the stable home that we used to have.
Why OFTC? Well... OFTC has a more primitive chan/nickserv than freenode and libera, and forked away from freenode like 15ys ago... So that's not good... But... It forked away from freenode 15ys ago, has yearly elections, bookkeeping by SPI, and projects like debian and gcc have been there for ages. Even though with my history, i almost never use Xorg/fd.o as a positive example, this project is also moving there. All of this is annoying, and pointless, i know. None of us chose for this to happen, but none of us are here to play political games in the middle of a fork of $infrastructure, we are all here to further support for sunxi hw, and OFTC seems like the least painful road ahead at this time. Not that i want to drive people out of freenode en masse right away, i just do not like to see the channel split over 3 or even more places a month from now. And i definitely do not want to see people give up on irc for something like forums or discord or whatever. So while i am sorry for having to write this, I hope that this is an adequate solution that does not drive anyone away from a stalwart tool of open source development.
