I think I'd much rather have a handful of people lurk in the freenode channel and point discussion questions to OFTC. I think that freenode has a much larger usage base, so keeping a channel there where we can point people to the right place is smart, but I don't know about having both channels active for discussions. IMHO, we should keep all discussions/meetings on the OFTC channel and simply redirect people from the freenode channel to OFTC. We could even have a join message on the channel that says something like "Thank you for your interest in the oVirt Project. Our primary IRC channel is #ovirt on OFTC. Please ask your questions there."
