[coreboot] What should we do about freenode IRC services?

[Patrick Georgi]

Hi everybody,

you might have heard that freenode.org recently changed management under 
weird circumstances. Given that we use their services for our project 
chat, this concerns us as well.

In last week's leadership meeting we had a wide variety of opinions: To 
go for libera.chat (a network created by former freenode staff), some 
other IRC network, to leave IRC behind and go for something newer and 
Matrix and Mattermost have been brought up as examples of where this 
might lead. Of course, we could also decide to stay on freenode, 
although from what transpires that option seems less and less attractive 
every day.

So, what should we do?

Regards,
Patrick
