Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] #savannah on irc.gnu.org

[Michael J. Flickinger]

Hi Alfred,

I'm going to have to agree here.

It's very annoying to have all the GNU channels on one network 
(Freenode) and the savannah channel residing on another.  Further, since 
irc.gnu.org points to irc.freenode.net, a lot of users login to 
Freenode's savannah channel with questions that often go ignored.

I think since Freenode is GNU's official IRC server that we should move 
the channel back.

Simply put, to users, I think going to irc.gnu.org #savannah should be 
the proper channel.

Is anyone opposed to this?
