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-... 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.
Registering the relevant channels on libera.chat makes sense. But I believe it's unwise to rush the libera.chat migration in the current overheated situation. Why not wait a few weeks, until the dust has settled and (hopefully) a rational judgement about the recent events is possible? Regards, Martin
