IRC

[William Lindley]

Is anyone interested in registering a permanent IRC channel?

IRC is one of the earliest Net chat protocols and still free and open to all.

Libera.chat is where the former freenode channels have gone. Libera is "a Swedish nonprofit organisation" [their website] and hosts many FOSS project channels.

I have a Nickserv account with them — it's free and simple registration.  If folks would like to meet there on #kyoss I have been on-and-off lately.  We could request a permanent channel using the format here:

https://libera.chat/chanreg/#community-registration

I'm happy to expedite the process if there is interest.

A few of us lurked in #kyoss on freenode back around 2006-2012 or thereabouts. We never registered it, but we generally had a kyoss member in the channel to maintain ops on it.

I'm not sure how many people would still lurk these days, as most newer folks seem to want to hit centralized services like discord etc.

We do have a Gitter channel setup -- it's a bit more modern than IRC:

    https://gitter.im/KYOSS/community

(We had a Slack for a while, but I think we gave it up in favor of Gitter, because Gitter is open source IIRC...?)
