Greetings. In https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/10053 Ryan notes that we have a ton of groups that mention irc.freenode.net in their group infromation in the account system. In https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/10035 bookware notes that we have irc nick's set in the account system when they may no longer be valid with the irc network move. Also, our notifications service is sending to the new network, but using the old nicks/previously setup, which may or may not be the same. Also, I'd like to note that libera.net is amending their nick policies this friday: https://github.com/Libera-Chat/libera-chat.github.io/commit/cf5211538ed65e127f4fc842b62cf25817171e24 basically if someone registers a nick, but only uses it 2 for less than 2 hours after registering, it can be freed up after 2 weeks. This new policy may allow some contributors that couldn't get their old nick on the new network back. Addiitonally, we hope to sometime real soon now(tm) have our fedora matrix server up and running with 'spaces' so all the rooms and mappings will change around again then anyhow. Abompard has a PR to noggin to allow it to specify irc network and matrix ids: https://github.com/fedora-infra/noggin/pull/668 So, what do we want to do here? I'd propose: * Set a date, like June 30th (1 week from today) to clear things. * Get things lined up before that date and on that date: * clear all irc info from groups, we can re-add info after matrix is setup pointing to matrix channels. * Clear all irc nicks from account system * Clear all irc nicks from FMN * Send announcement that we did that and ask everyone to re-enter irc nicks in account system and re-validate irc nicks with FMN. Outstanding questions: * Do we want to get that noggin PR rolled out first? * Do we want to get noggin to be able to verify nicks first? * Do we want to just hold off on all this until matrix is setup? * Clearning verified irc from FMN, does that also require users to re-enter all their rules? Thoughts? kevin
