Meeting Minutes
- Proposal from IRCC on migration to Libera.chat
- IRCC submitted a proposal to the CC to migrate away from Freenode to Libera.chat
- This request was sent and received a few hours before the meeting
- Thomas Ward raised the issue of scope, especially the namespaces such as kubuntu and lubuntu that are owned by the IRCC
- This issue is being undertaken by the current IRCC, as the recent election is not done.
- The IRCC noted they want the input of the namespace stakeholders (e.g. kubuntu and lubuntu) before they proceed
- The CC vote this evening is a soft quorum to allow for rapid movement once the IRCC has contacted namespace stakeholders. The CC notes there is “a sense of urgency from the community” and that there is a “duty to answer.” The CC supports the move, “provided that current IRCC polls the other stakeholders for the namespaces as to their opinions.”
- The IRCC will determine the logistics of the move, and @madhens will coordinate with IS to help
- The soft quorum passes with a vote of 5-0
- The CC discuss next steps for the IRCC:
- Quickpoll stakeholders, since the IRCC has greater insight into who they need to contact, as to who would like not to move, or who would object, if any.
- Handle the logistics of migration, including member cloaks.
- Update (and provide if CC requests) documentation of a plan for migration as well as relevant stakeholders for which namespace.
- Community Team will support the IRCC as needed in the above tasks.
Discussion/Brainstorming
- A lot of documentation will need upgrading, including the wiki, the Ubuntu desktop guide, and links in flavor welcomes/menus
- It would likely be helpful to use channel topics and bots on freenode for a transition period to signpost the move
- We will communicate news around the proposal and any forward using multiple channels and platforms
- Forum Council Renewals
- Forum Council requested renewals of their members
- No objections were raised to the renewals
- @teward will handle the renewals accordingly
