It is impssible to login to sugar irc on f28 and f29 soas due to these
registration requrements....

At the moment the issue with Freenode requires all of us to register
before we can speak.
This impacts new people. It makes their joining as complicated as any
other service with registration requirements.
As D. Joe has observed, if we had our people watching, we could notice
new people to let them speak. We would need to enable this, and
somehow cover the different time zones. As we don’t have enough
coverage now to answer the simplest questions from the people we have,
we would need some commitment. That would be the next step in that plan.
I don’t know of any other service we could use that doesn’t require
some sort of registration.
We might set up an IRC server ourselves, but then we take on the
defence problem that Freenode does for us.
We do have a Jabber server, but I don’t know if it has been attacked
in the same way.

We will be meeting tomorrow (Friday, 5 October) at 20UTC [1] (4PM in
Boston) on irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net/> #sugar-meeting
(See [2]).
Note that there has been a SPAM issue on Freenode of late (See the
email from James I have forwarded below). We should discuss potential
solutions.
Also on the agenda:
* GSoC travel
* GCI 2018
* [your topic here]
