Dear all, I guess you might have heard of the recent Freenode turmoil. [0]
Although very low traffic and probably not very well known, there exists a #rosegarden IRC channel which is also listed on the official Rosegarden website here: https://rosegardenmusic.com/support/ and where I would usually lurk in (and have talked to people from time to time...).
I'm not sure who the channel was registered to on Freenode, but I assume because the topic was set in 2011 (!) it doesn't seem to have been part of the 'takeover' of other channels [1]. The last topic was set by user 'redsonya', not sure if they are still active with Rosegarden or maybe on this list?
I'm also not sure who should take the decision if to stay on freenode or not. Personally I would support a move (as many Free Software project have done / are doing) to Libera.Chat [2]. As I have now moved my IRC presence there in the last days I joined #rosegarden which is currently empty and un-registerd and took the liberty to set a topic. Although IRC is not as popular as it was I think it would be nice to have a channel for rosegarden where rosegarden geeks can lurk and maybe help if needed :-)
(if anyone wants to get in touch on Libera.Chat IRC I'm 'lorenzosu' on there, but don't always expect a fast response!).
Ciao, Lorenzo.
