New IRC Network For Open Source Projects

Posted by timothy on from the you-have-been-kicked dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "The folks over at Tech Tower IRC have decided to turn their small IRC network into a place for Open Source projects. They have also changed some policies to allow users on their networks to help shape the network, the big one is holding public meetings to discuss the network. Could this be the next freenode? They are also asking for individuals that wish to found general channels, this means that if you are lucky, you can lead the next #linux."

    I'd prefer everything to remain in Freenode too.

    That said, I snatched up #linux :-D

    This seems somehow redundant. What's wrong with freenode that we need another IRC network?

    You don't need another Freenode. There is no relevant reason for this new network. Freenode works well, and most of the users are intelligent and helpful.

    Is there a lot of warez and porn on Freenode? I've never noticed. Mind you, I only sit in one social and a few project channels (go #squeak !)... Unlike other networks, I've never had problems with spambots coming into channel and posting message about porn sites, and I've never had those random msgs with the same content.

    So, in short- why not just use freenode?
