This was sparked by [new ownership of +Freenode](https://kline.sh/). Due to concerns with the new ownership, the Raku +Steering Council has decided to also migrate our IRC channels to Libera. + +This requires us to take a couple steps. First and foremost, we need to +register the Raku project, to allow us a claim to the `#raku` and related +channels. Approval for this happened within 24 hours, and as such, we can +continue on the more noticable steps. + +The IRC bots we're using for various tasks will be moved next, and the Raku +documentation has to be updated to refer to Libera instead of Freenode. The +coming week we'll be working on that, together with the people who provide +those bots. + +Once this is done, the last step involves the Matrix bridge. Libera and +Matrix.org staff are working on this, but there's no definite timeline +available just yet. This may mean that Matrix users will temporarily not be +able to join the discussions happening at Libera. We will keep an eye on the +progress of this, and set up the bridge as soon as it has been made available. + +If you have any questions regarding the migration, feel free to reach out to us +via email (`rsc@raku.org`) or on IRC (`#raku-steering-council` on +irc.libera.chat). |
