Dear All,
tonight I tried to login on the Freenode network and I was rejected.
I was told I must (re)register or else I could not connect.
In my very humble opinion, the time has come to get rid of any links
to the Freenode network, and rather invite visitors to our channel on
Libera.Chat. Keeping links to Freenode at this point may (still IMHO)
just backfire, as casual users may encounter problems just to connect
to the server, as it happened to me today.
I just pushed a new branch of our "openoffice-org" repository and
issued a pull request on GitHub [1]. Comments and reviews are welcome as
usual.
I will also work on the wiki, in my free time.
If anyone would like discuss the topic of leaving Freenode, please let
us talk about it. I saw some people on our Freenode channel, last time
I was allowed, who do not seem to appear on Libera.Chat. I must
confess this makes me a bit puzzled :-)
Best regards.

Although I never used freenode and have only logged into Libera a couple
time after all the news about freenode began.
I'll let those who participate in that method speak but I think most
have moved.
This may be a good topic for a lazy consensus and if nobody objects just
do it.
But in my opinion it's okay to change the links.
Best regards,
Carl
