IRC improvement

RJ Raphaël Jadot Public Seen by 476

Hello, this is a topic for discussion about improving IRC channels.

  • We have added a new meetbot called chwido, like our dog mascot, who will help managing meetings inside IRC. Will be documented soon in our IRC :)
  • We'll create a workshop channel, and the com channel will redirect to it.

Other stuff needs to be done, but we would like your advice first.

Since this is open to all members, it's interesting how few people are voicing their opinion.

@waynesallee about members voicing, what do you think about it, is it an issue to be solved somewhat?

I don't think it's a terrible thing one way or the other, but I want to recap what I said 2 years ago on this vote above:
Wayne Sallee agreed: I'm going to agree as long as:
(1)we only advertise the full name version
(2)we keep it fully reversible so that we can change it back in the future without problems.
(3)we test it out first to see if there are any problems.

This is a two year old proposal which has been revived There are also too many abstentions to say that this is a forgone conclustion. There are a number people who think it should not be oma who have abstained so the vote has become not about whether the name should be changed but about what the name will be.
I personally think thisname is incorroect because it i renaming the channel to OpenMandriva Association when it should be OpenMandriva. It would however be legitimate in my view to rename the council and infra oma-council and oma-infra

One could also argue that Open Mandriva is the software, and Open Mandriva Association is the association.

So we could call it omc for Open Mandriva Community. But that adds more confusion.

I think that the most important thing is to continue to publicize the full name, and not the abbreviated name, and use some kind of redirect.
