[...] If there is a consensus to move OpenDev's services to OFTC, or any other IRC network for that matter, this will entail a bit of development effort in order to accommodate the differences mentioned above. Please do note, however, that moving to a network other than OFTC would additionally mean we can't guarantee the availability of the same IRC channel names either, so that needs to be weighed in any decision. Some discussion[4][5][6] is already underway within the OpenStack community as to what they'd prefer, but we haven't heard much from other projects yet, so please do respond with your thoughts on the matter.
My personal view on this would be (with bits stolen from Jim's proposal on Zuul's ML): - the situation warrants relatively quick action (measured in days), so we should stay on IRC - small preference for OFTC due to the level of Opendev team preparation, but also because Libera.Chat will likely be a hot target for a while - once the dust settles we should definitely consider a move toward a more federated / decentralized / accessible system like Matrix -- Thierry
