I know there is already a #yast channel at libera. But so far I have never seen more than 5-8 people there.
Now it seems it's kind of official that most openSUSE channels are being moved. What should we do? Cheers. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Moving from Freenode to Libera.Chat Date: Thu, 27 May 2021 12:04:51 +0200 (CEST) From: Gerald Pfeifer <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Hi everyone, as some of you noticed, lately there've been challenges around Freenode, the IRC network that has been home to a number of openSUSE channels for years. See, for example, https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/05/freenode-irc-has-been-taken-over-by-the-crown-prince-of-korea/ https://news.itsfoss.com/freenode-controversy/ Approached by several of you we discussed this with those, the board, and the weekly release meeting. There is consensus to move our channels to Libera.Chat ( https://libera.chat ), a new network many other projects are migrating to as well. With help from Antonio and Sasi I already registered the openSUSE project with Libera.Chat (which by itself is not a move yet) and Marcus R. and others are ready to execute the move. The plan of record is to move quickly. If you have any concerns or questions, please advise as soon as possible. Likewise if you support. Thanks, Gerald PS: https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/issue/4 publicly tracks this matter on the openSUSE side; feel free to chime in there. -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer <[email protected]>, CTO @SUSE + chair @openSUSE
