Re: [jts-dev] Gitter <-> matrix <-> IRC

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

This seems really cool Sandro.

One of the reasons I stopped using IRC day in and day out was lack of persistent chat, especially when swapping between desktop and mobile interaction (where i may lose connectivity and thus a conversation thread). I see there are several mobile clients available ....

If it helps:

  # About you and your staff

  Your NickServ account (primary group contact): jgarnett

  Your relationship to the project: project steering committee

  NickServ accounts of alternate group contacts: strk (anyone else use IRC recently?)

I would be in favour of registering jts with freenode, and experimenting with matrix. I would like to see evidence we can use the facility provided before advertising it's availability heavily.

aside: LocationTech started with a freenode IRC channel :)

I've created a matrix room and bridged it to the Gitter chat.
See https://matrix.to/#/#jts:matrix.org

Matrix is an open technology and allows bridging to different networks.

The plan is to further bridge these to IRC but before doing that I
think it would be worth registering the IRC channel, and if we want
that to be #jts on Freenode it takes an approval by Freenod Staff.

In order to get that approval we need a formal project representative
to send the following information to projects@xxxxxxxxxxxx
