# IRC Nick says: The current state of IRC is "a dumpster fire" * Freenode taking over channels is an escalation * We've taken our Matrix bridges down as an emergency measure * We did get #fedora-pl back * Libera Channels are getting set up * We have cloaks! * registering channels now needs to go through our group contacts (nb, spot, nirik) * pagure repo for creating channels now * plan to send out this announcement today: Draft IRC announcement https://hackmd.io/rgyR_WAETaqw7RTdR2j-DA?view * Change channel topics to "This is no longer an official Fedora Project channel. See (commblog post URL) for more information." * bots will come off of freenode. It'd be nice to have them telling people to move, but we really don't want to pick a fight, and freenode doesn't seem to want that, so there's no reason to be antagonistic * Discussion about docs update. It's harder than just a search and replace, since pages like "my nick on freenode is mattdm" shouldn't. * It's fine if freenode wants to run unofficial Fedora channels as long as they follow our trademark guidelines. It does need to not be confusing to users. # Swag and Budget * Planned new logo stuff: https://hackmd.io/awPM9FP3RoqT9TVwMCMNoQ?view * Because most of our budget usually goes to Flock and to travel, we have a significant budget surplus. * Suggestion of KLF-style burning of cash was shouted down. We should do something useful with this instead! * Looking for new mentorship/internship programs, as GSOC has changed and isn't really a good match for Fedora anymore. * suggestion: "season of KDE" # Survey Survey to go live on June 1st.
