  + project page: http://g.co/gsoc
  + accepted students are now announced
  + next step:

* Freenode situation (Cloph)
  * under “new management” https://freenode.net/news/freenode-is-foss
  * volunteer staff resigned and created libera.chat
  + https://gist.github.com/joepie91/df80d8d36cd9d1bde46ba018af497409 some overview/pointers to resignation statements
  + question: if we stay with IRC, do we stay at freenode?
    + move to OFTC or Libera.Chat?
    + prefer IRC, wait with moving (Eike)
      + e.g. in the future Libera.Chat will have matrix integration, but not yet
      + very fresh and new at this stage
      + agree (Stephan)
  + most freenode admins are at Libera.Chat (Ilmari)
    + seems like an easy change technically
  + worth finding out where other projects go (Caolan)
    + e.g. gtk
  + don’t mind either way (Gabriel)
  + interested in moving away from freenode (Heiko)
    + preferably Matrix alternatively oftc
  + Brett wrote in #df-infra: people in telegram groups will never join IRC, but might join matrix (Michael S)
    + don’t care too much personally
  + think we should leave freenode, happy with OFTC/Libera.Chat/Matrix (Cloph)
  + don’t want to switch to a self-hosted IRC network (Guilhem)
     + like the network effect of these IRC networks
     + already using OFTC for Debian purposes, not yet commenting on Libera.Chat
       + too early to switch
     + have a TDF matrix instance, but synapse doesn’t support multiple domains (set to documentfoundation.org)
     + agreed (Eike)
  + don’t care too much (Xisco)
  + if we have to move from IRC, like to have a chat that supports rich content (images, screenshots, etc) (Olivier)
    + prefer a phone + desktop client
    + happy with telegram e.g.
    + TDF could offer chat logs (Ilmari)
  + nothing to add from my side, don't have any real opinion on that yet (Michael W)
  + happy with IRC (Miklos)
=> let’s get back to this in a month and see how this develops (all)
