<p>The &os; IRC Admin team manages the &os; Project's IRC
|
||||
presence on the freenode IRC network, looking after:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Registrations and ongoing management of channels within
|
||||
the official namespace (<tt>#freebsd*</tt>).</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Liaising with freenode staff.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Allocating freebsd hostmask cloaks for users.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>General user support.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In order to facilitate a constructive and positive
|
||||
environment for all members of the &os; community, IRC Admin
|
||||
over the past 3-9 months has established and consolidated a
|
||||
consistent baseline with respect to the management of its
|
||||
channels on freenode. This report is a summary of what has
|
||||
happened so far and things to come.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These activities were completed over the last few
|
||||
quarters:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Registration of &os; Group Contacts (GC) with freenode
|
||||
staff. For information on what this means, see <a
|
||||
href="https://freenode.net/groupreg">the group
|
||||
registration page</a>.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Created a &os; NickServ account to assign as primary
|
||||
owner/founder of the <tt>#freebsd*</tt> namespace
|
||||
channels.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The primary channels are owned/founded by a generic &os;
|
||||
account that is owned and managed by the &os; Project.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Created the <tt>Services::IRC</tt> component in Bugzilla
|
||||
for change requests and issue reports.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Obtained a report of all registered freenode channels
|
||||
matching the <tt>#freebsd*</tt> namespace and assessed the
|
||||
list for current ownership and activity status.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Assigned <tt>freebsd/</tt> user cloaks to users requesting
|
||||
them. For more information, see <a
|
||||
href="https://wiki.freebsd.org/IRC/Cloaks">IRC
|
||||
Cloaks</a>.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Obtain a report on all nicknames and accounts with
|
||||
existing <tt>freebsd/*</tt> user cloaks.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Liaise with freenode staff on upcoming changes to freebsd
|
||||
channels.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The goals for the next few quarters are to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Complete the transfer of founder ownership for all
|
||||
<tt>#freebsd*</tt> channels. Existing channel creators,
|
||||
some of whom are project members and others who are not,
|
||||
will be contacted using known contact information or contact
|
||||
information set in their registered NickServ account, in
|
||||
order to initiate the transfer of the channel to the &os;
|
||||
Project. If the contact information of the existing channel
|
||||
owner cannot be obtained, or if no response is received
|
||||
after a suitable period of time has elapsed, IRC Admin will
|
||||
complete the ownership transfer with freenode staff.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Deregister defunct and inactive <tt>#freebsd*</tt>
|
||||
channels. Channels which have no visible signs of activity
|
||||
based on last active time or registered owner last seen,
|
||||
have been deprecated by alternative channels, or have no
|
||||
other way of having ownership transferred will be
|
||||
deregistered. For channels where a sunset period may be
|
||||
suitable, a channel topic will be set, and optionally a
|
||||
forwarding channel, informing users of the changes,
|
||||
including support and contact information.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Create and document baseline procedures and guidelines.
|
||||
These include: Community and User Guidelines, a Code of
|
||||
Conduct, Operator and Moderator Guidelines and Expectations,
|
||||
Abuse Reporting and Dispute Resolution Guidelines, and
|
||||
procedures for delegation of channel management.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Standardize and re-create channel access lists.
|
||||
Existing access lists and user permissions for all
|
||||
<tt>#freebsd*</tt> channels remain in their states prior to
|
||||
&os; Group Registration. Consolidation and reassignment to
|
||||
the &os; Project is needed. In order to ensure a consistent
|
||||
user and community experience in official &os; channels
|
||||
going forward, access lists for all channels will be created
|
||||
from the ground up. Users with existing access to channels
|
||||
may, at the IRC Admin team's discretion, be provided with
|
||||
the opportunity to re-apply for access subject to any
|
||||
conditions, terms, or guidelines that may be
|
||||
appropriate.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Determine the methods for informing project members and
|
||||
the community of future changes to IRC services, procedures,
|
||||
and policies.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Determine methods to designate existing channel founders
|
||||
as channel managers or similar.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Update the channels list on the Wiki to distinguish
|
||||
official and unofficial channels.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Establish consistent modes, entry messages, and topics for
|
||||
all channels.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Users are invited to <tt>/join #freebsd-irc</tt> on the
|
||||
freenode IRC network. The IRC Admin team welcomes ideas,
|
||||
contructive criticism, and feedback on how the &os; Project
|
||||
can improve the service and experience it provides to the
|
||||
community.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>While the vast majority of the broader community interacts on
|
||||
the freenode IRC network, the &os; developer presence there
|
||||
needs to be significantly improved.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are many opportunities to be had by increasing the
|
||||
amount and quality of interaction between &os; users and
|
||||
developers, both in terms of developers keeping their finger
|
||||
on the pulse of the community and in encouraging and
|
||||
cultivating greater contributions to the Project over the long
|
||||
term.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is critical to have a strong developer presence amongst
|
||||
users and IRC Admin would like to call on all developers to
|
||||
join the &os; freenode channels to help support that
|
||||
presence. We are the &os; giants on whose shoulders the
|
||||
future contributors stand. It is important to be there, in
|
||||
force.</p>
