Open Stack

Dell Customer Communication - Confidential

Jeremy,
Is there a way to redirect IRC channel to another?
Unless we want to keep old openstack IRCs function for openstack only.
Thanks,
Arkady

This seems reasonable. The only hitch is that if we start using the base #openinfra channel for foundation discussions, we should probably continue to mention #opensourceinfra in the channel topic for a while in case any stragglers are looking for where the previous inhabitants relocated.

It also might be a good opportunity to think about our current channel fragmentation, and consider whether we should be combining some of these to simplify our communications. For example, -forum and -summit and -board might make sense to just mash into #openinfra if discussion volume and lack of separation aren't a concern. Just a thought... there's likely to be no better time than now to decide that, at least.
