Thanks for sending such a detailed message (with footnotes!). I think I support the move. I have already registered the #openvswitch channel on libera.chat (and copied the topic across). I'm going to log in on both servers tomorrow but I suggest that we transition to libera.chat after tomorrow's meeting, since this is pretty short notice and I think that most of us (including me) are only light users of IRC. Also, I suspect that the infrastructure for recording meetings has not yet moved to libera.chat. (I did notice that the 'openstack' user just dropped out of #openvswitch. I think that's the bot that did the meeting recordings. So maybe that infastructure is moving across right as I write.) _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
