[Caml-list] IRC channels available on libera.chat

[Adrien Nader <adrien@notk.org>]

Hello,

Due to the recent troubles on freenode[1][2], I've connected to
irc.libera.chat early in order to create and register the same channels
that I know and take care ofa on freenode (i.e. #ocaml and #ocaml-fr).

I am not stating libera.chat is better than freenode.net although the
amount of staffers moving makes me think freenode.net will not be
running fine for a much longer time.

At the moment I believe it is better to keep both channels running and
to encourage people to connect on libera.chat too. In the future, I
might force migration by progressively silencing the channel that should
be abandoned.

If you maintain a relay bot, can you please add it on libera.chat too?

As far as I know, there is no Matrix bridge available currently. It
seems the discussion/process for bridge additions occurs at [3].

A good news is that I've gotten the full rights on the channel,
something which was requiring paperwork on freenode (which I had already
mentioned but never got around to doing and for which I never even remotely
got time for).
