The freenode irc network was recently the target of a questionable change of control, and most projects are relocating to other networks. We should probably do the same thing with our channels, which include:

  • #moc
  • #openinfralabs
  • #openinfralabs-monitoring

The choices are effectively:

  • Just stay where we are.
  • Move to OFTC
  • Move to Libera, created by ex-Freenode staff
  • Abandon IRC for something else

OpenStack has moved over to OFTC. Many other projects have moved over to Libera.

Any thoughts?

I think moving in parallel to OpenStack may make sense, if we want to try and attract additional contributors or people who may be interested in our work. But I don't know how likely that is.

@tzumainn a side benefit to following OpenStack is that if you need to interact with folks from OpenStack projects, you're already on the same network so it simplifies your IRC config.

Agreed! That's definitely a plus. But to be honest, I also kinda expect to join fifty billion new IRC servers because communities are moving to different networks anyway.

We talked about this on our standup this morning; I think everyone is fine with moving to OFTC. Going to let this sit until Tuesday, just in case anyone wants to comment.

We're moving #moc over to the OFTC network.
