Effective immediately, Libera is the official home of our channels, which include, but are not limited to, all of the #fsf, #gnu, and #libreplanet namespaces. (VIEW)
  • 15-06-2021 - FSF and GNU plan update to move IRC channels to Libera.Chat: The #fsf and #gnu channels on the Freenode network are considered unofficial and will not be moderated by FSF staff or GNU volunteers. In order not to confuse users, who might think that the #fsf and #gnu channels on Freenode are the official channels of our organizations, the alias irc.gnu.org is immediately withdrawn. Instead, it now points to a server of ours that will notify IRC clients trying to connect to it of our migration to the Libera.Chat network. (VIEW)
  • 24-06-2021 - Support the FSF technical team: The most effective way to support the FSF and our intrepid technical team is to join us as an associate member. If you are not financially able to commit to being an associate member, we understand: spreading the word is just as important! Take a moment to draw public attention to the need for free software. Use the hashtag #UserFreedom, and share this message and others to help us build support and reach our fundraising goal of $ 50.000 by July 16. (VIEW)
