-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 2011-03-03 for Alfred M. Szmidt copy in savannah-hackers-public@gnu.org, thread "#savannah on irc.gnu.org".
Hello Alfred. > We shouldn't confuse the discussion, it is about having #savannah on > irc.gnu.org, not about Freenode, OTFC or where to host it. Likewise, we shouldn't ignore than the underlying network of irc.gnu.org is Freenode. > If TOR users have issues with Freenode it is better to solve the > problems with them, than changing networks every week. Could you > bring the issues you experienced with supp...@freenode.net first? "changing networks every week" is misleading. Neither desicion to this issue would imply we will change the networks every week or nearly. Furthermore, #savannah is currently on OFTC. To have #savannah officially on Freenode we would have to change again, to keep it on OFTC no change is need. If there is a problem moving channels let's bear in mind an aditional change don't negates the effects of the first change on itself. #savannah could be back where it was but moving back still would be an additional change, with its hindrance, if there is any. > Saying that Freenode is hostile towards TOR users is harsh, and > untrue. Freenode does support TOR, it may be a bit of a fiddle since > it has been abused; but this is no different than it being fiddly to > access the GNU machines since people abused them and now we have to > use SSH. Bear in mind there was a reason to move from Freenode and it still applies at the best of my knowledge. The problem has been just explained by Ted Smith [1] and the thread has been archived in [2]. I think Sylvain contacted supp...@freenode.net personally; there is further information about the issue with Freenode in [3].

Excuse me, I don't understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate?.
