I think that's a limitation which will also applies to other IRC |
| 9 |
networks, therefore we have to live with that limitation or run our own |
| 10 |
IRC network. I can't say that I prefer the latter one ... we're a quite |
| 11 |
good in running our distribution - but would we be also that good in |
| 12 |
running our own IRC network? I guess not ... |

Given the fact that the concern spb raised in the meeting is a |
| 42 |
non-problem, at least until Freenode changes its policy in that aspect, |
| 43 |
i see no problem with pointing irc.g.o to irc.freenode.net. Plus |
| 44 |
irc.g.o. in some way points to Freenode servers already |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
irc.gentoo.org canonical name = irc.osuosl.org. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
irc.osuosl.org is an A record for 140.211.166.3 and 140.211.166.4 which |
| 49 |
are both Freenode boxes. |
