Proposition and motions

Other questions

Merchandise

The meeting discussed several options of offering merchandise with Libera Chat logos.

freewear.org was suggested as an option. Several FOSS organisations like KDE, Gnome, Debian, Arch, Django and Python use it already to good effect.

We will follow up on some additional design work and contact the freewear.org team to discuss options.

Out-of-band staff messenger

The meeting discussed options for an emergency out-of-band messenger in case IRC is unreachable for staff. A comparison table with several options was presented.

Loading invex_regonly

This is a convenient way for chanops to allow unregistered users to bypass chanmode +r (regonly) by adding an INVEX (invite-exception).

The meeting voted to load this module pending review and testing.

Loading chm_regmsg

This is a more convenient way to block messages from unregistered users. It is already possible to block said messages with an EXTBAN format of +q $~a but using +R will show a friendlier error to the unregistered user and is easier to apply.

The meeting voted to load this module pending review and testing.
