Dear Cloud SiG and CentOS Community Members,
As many of you know, there have been changes in Freenode which affect the RDO channel, OpenInfra channels, and the channels of many other communities we work closely with. After careful consideration, the OpenDev team has chosen to move the Open Infrastructure Foundation IRC related infrastructure to OFTC[0]. As of Monday, May 31st, OFTC will become the primary home of RDO (#rdo) including where we host our meeting.
The Fedora and CentOS Communities have chosen to move to Libera[1] and due to our close relationship with these projects RDO will have a presence on this system as well also in #rdo.
Our channel is already created on both systems and are ready for you to join them and it is recommended you register your Nick[2][3] on both these systems.
While not a total solution, we would like to mention Matrix[4] which we hope in the future will be able to bridge OFTC and Libera.chat into one location.
Thanks,
Amy Marrich (spotz)

With some help from Neal and Nick, I'm looking into what's involved in bridging. It looks like Matrix will need to register against Libera, and once that's done, mirroring should work. That part of it - having Matrix register with nickserv - I do not know how to do. However, whoever is setting up the Matrix side of things should get in touch with me, so that I can do the IRC side.

We have an article about it for Freenode on Fedora Magazine: https://fedoramagazine.org/access-freenode-using-matrix-clients/
I assume it will be similar with the Libera Chat bridge. Basically, it's similar to talking to NickServ -- you open a chat with a bot and send it some commands.
