How about this:
* Keep OFTC as canonical channel.
* Ask everyone to also lurk on the Freenode channel.
** By lurking we shorten the time on discussions in this
other-major-IRC community.
* Allow conversations to flourish on Freenode, but redirect back to
OFTC channel.
* See what happens over time.
We can have ovirtbot on the Freenode channel, so that channel sees the
activity and so forth. This also allows people to turn a discussion in
to a meeting simply so they can get a log (and #info, #action, etc.)
for sharing with the mailing list later.
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."
