Dear all, As some of you may have read over the past days, there has been an ownership dispute over the freenode.net network. The IRC network has been used by the Yocto Project and many other projects over the past decades as a platform for discussion and support. The dispute led to the exodus of most former freenode staff from the network and the founding of a new network: libera.chat [1].
Starting today, the Yocto Project is migrating the official IRC channels from freenode.net to libera.chat. Everyone is encouraged to join #yocto on libera.chat, and get their nick registered on the new network as soon as possible. It's a soft migration, we don't expect to kick users from #yocto on freenode anytime, unless things go really bad on freenode. However we encourage everyone to move to libera.chat and *leave* the freenode channels during the next few weeks. We understand it will take some time to finalize the transition of all users, it is very important that we don't leave any member from our community behind during this transition. The Yocto Project community website was updated with all the information mentioned here, and can be found at [2]. We thank the freenode community for the many years of great service and collaboration, IRC has been, and will remain a key communication medium for our community! In addition, on popular demand, the Yocto Project can also be found on the Open Matrix Network, in the dedicated room called #yoctoproject:matrix.org, which can be accessed using [3]. Note that this Matrix room is bridged to the #yocto channel on Libera.chat, enabling full two-way communication between IRC and Matrix users. It is worth mentioning that OpenEmbedded has engaged in a similar transition, and users are encouraged to join #oe on libera.chat (or the OpenEmbedded Room on the Open Matrix Network [4]). In case of any difficulty , please reach out to me, Michael, Jan-Simon, Khem or Philip! cheers nico [1] https://libera.chat/ [2] https://www.yoctoproject.org/community/mailing-lists/ [3] https://matrix.to/#/#yoctoproject:matrix.org [4] https://matrix.to/#/#oe:matrix.org
