| gast0n | this just happened with the #devuan-es channel on Freenode https://0x0.st/-eC5.png ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 05:16 |
|---|---|---|
| onefang | And other #devuan channels. | 05:17 |
| golinux | If they start messing with us remember that "Devuan" is a registered trademark | 05:23 |
| xrogaan | golinux: so, can't you folks demand that freenode not use the trademark? | 08:46 |
| xrogaan | I have no clue about all that legal stuff though? | 08:47 |
| onefang | golinux went to sleep. | 08:47 |
| onefang | And the problem with doing legal stuff against people that have very deep pockets is they drag it out and you loose coz you go broke. | 08:48 |
| xrogaan | might want to post a message on dng | 08:50 |
| xrogaan | or devuan-announce | 08:50 |
| xrogaan | whichever has more reach. Trying to msg idlers on irc will not be fruitful. | 08:51 |
| adam_free2air | i would start with open communication over misrepresentation of the project and its community's decision to move official resources. going full bore into trademark accusations does not seem very devuan to me. | 08:51 |
| onefang | Messages been sent to dng already. | 08:51 |
| xrogaan | where? | 08:56 |
| xrogaan | mine? | 08:56 |
| xrogaan | There is a difference between "devuan might change it's irc home" and "freenode unilaterally took over our channels." | 08:57 |
| adam_free2air | xrogaan: yes, there is. but just because someone is shitty doesn't mean we are shitty in return. hold the high ground. if you argue with an evil idiot for long enough, people fail to notice the difference. | 08:59 |
| xrogaan | I mean in reference to the mail I sent on dng about irc. The situation is different. | 08:59 |
| xrogaan | That is, if devuan's staff has *no control* over the devuan channel at freenode, it may be important to state it publicly. | 09:00 |
| onefang | There's an entire long conversation on the mailing list, and a separate announcement about where we moved to. | 09:01 |
| xrogaan | I must be blind then. | 09:01 |
| xrogaan | Or not subscribed to the same list as you are. | 09:01 |
| onefang | Oh wait, was sent to the dev list by parazyd. | 09:03 |
| onefang | So yeah, someone send an official announcement to DNG. | 09:08 |
| bgstack15 | Devuan meet tomorrow, May 27, at 20:30 UTC. Pad is here: https://pad.dyne.org/code/#/2/code/edit/z55+KSsBDxBm51Zi+SvKtMWC/ | 20:37 |
