That sounds as a very good decision based on what I read on all this saga. on practical matters... will irc.opensuse.org be an alias for libera servers? nick name registration and cloak settings... what will happen.

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.
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
