To be honest, as soon as I see the biggest section on <a href="https://pulpproject.org/help/" target="_blank">https://pulpproject.org/help/</a> is "IRC", I internally think "oh, it's one of _those_ projects" and resign myself to probably not getting interactive help. I didn't even notice the matrix support at the bottom of the page. In the presentation today, matrix wasn't mentioned at all - just freenode.<div><br></div><div>This is just one guy's opinion, but I suspect that emphasizing IRC over lower-friction mechanisms probably introduces a barrier that reduces potential community involvement.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 19, 2021 at 11:47 AM Melanie Corr <<a href="mailto:mcorr@redhat.com" target="_blank">mcorr@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all, <br></div><div><br></div><div>One of our main communication channels as a community has been Freenode IRC. <br></div><div>We maintain a Matrix bridge to Freenode but require all users to register with Freenode because of spam and to ensure that both Matrix and Freenode users see each other's messages. <br></div><div><br></div><div>As you're probably aware, there have been mass resignations from the Freenode board, first leaked last week but made official today [1], as well as the announcement that they are creating another network [2].</div><div><br></div><div>As far as I can tell, all open source communities are currently reviewing their options.
