The fact is that Debian is not in charge of it. But it's a common gathering place for many Debian developers ... common enough to be mentionned in the presentation mail you get from elmo once you're a new debian developer. As such, I think that this channel is "official" enough to be a representative part of Debian. And when a contributor get kicked from #debian-devel, he does certainly feel like being rejected by the developer community (and probably won't get back soon to helping Debian). > By all means go and talk to openprojects people and have them > put forth a policy governing the channels on their network. They already have guidelines ... strictly speaking they have not been always followed in #debian-devel. But they are only guidelines ... > BTW, if there is an openprojects channel op that is > mistreating people on the channel, please ask the openprojects IRC > ops to correct the issue. They OPN people certainly don't have to decide what's good for each channel. It's up to us to resolve the problem. We tried on -private, nothing came out. Now I've launched a general resolution so that we can take a final decision and stop loosing time with such stupid issues. And if you read my answer to Anthony in this thread, you'll see that another simple solution is possible...
