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."

    And what makes you think this new network won't have the same problems as Freenode after a week or so?

    Personally, I've never had any troubles with warez and porn on Freenode, so I don't even know what you're complaining about.

    This has happened before, see the OFTC network. All it does is fragment the community, as I have to be on this network for #openbsd, that network for #mozilla, the other network for #gimp, etc etc etc. I want one network, one signon, and one nick!
