[19:11] <Eickmeyer> FYI, in case you all didn't hear, libera is dropping support for portalled Matrix bridging. Any Matrix bridging will have to be plumbed starting August 14th. https://libera.chat/news/deportalling-delay
[19:31] <oerheks> yay, 15 is my birthday.
[19:31] <oerheks> not related, but a nice present
[20:30] <Eickmeyer> oerheks: Maybe not so nice as the Community Team wants to move to Matrix: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/modern-communication-platforms-call-for-feedback/36763
[20:31] <ravage> are you already in our main matrix room Eickmeyer? :)
[20:31] <Eickmeyer> ravage: Not yet.
[20:32] <Eickmeyer> Mostly because it was never plumbed to #ubuntu.
[20:32] <ravage> in hindsight a good decision :D
[20:33] <ravage> https://matrix.to/#/#ubuntu:matrix.org
[20:33] <Eickmeyer> Not necessarily. Portalled rooms are being dropped, not plumbed rooms.
[20:33] <Eickmeyer> Ubuntu Studio's rooms are plumbed, so they're unaffected.
[20:33] <ravage> i always find the IRC bridge a little awkward. also a lot of lags
[20:34] <Eickmeyer> That's why the portalled rooms are being dropped, to get rid of the lags.
[20:34] <Eickmeyer> https://libera.chat/news/matrix-deportalling
[20:34] <oerheks> So it will be a backtalk network, seperate from IRC?
[20:35] <leftyfb> why on earth would the community team move #ubuntu off of IRC? IRC is where open source projects live
[20:35] <Eickmeyer> oerheks: I'm not sure what Canonical's plan is for that.
[20:35] <ravage> i dont think anyone is really thinking about closing IRC at this point
[20:35] <Eickmeyer> leftyfb: You'd have to ask for more specifics from Fallen, ilvipero, and aaronprisk[m].
[20:36] <Eickmeyer> But, as I stated, anything like that would have to go through the IRC Council.
[20:36] <leftyfb> I should hope the IRC council wouldn't vote in favor in moving away from IRC
[20:37] <Eickmeyer> In light of the new developments, every Ubuntu channel would basically have to be portalled.
[20:37] <Eickmeyer> er, plumbed.
