The part I don't get is there was the same drama when freenode was founded...
The org structure (wasn't it a non-profit at one point?), the donation drives, etc. There was a lot of "much larger irc networks don't need all this", "its a cash grab", etc.
Now, it seems to have fallen victim to the very issues the organization was supposed to prevent ?
- chx 5y agoThere was a nonprofit, but it was dissolved in 2013. https://web.archive.org/web/20130423011409/http://blog.freenode.net:80/2013/03/bye-bye-pdpc/ https://web.archive.org/web/20130423011409/http://blog.freen...
- mech422 5y agoInteresting...I wasn't even aware they had moved to the UK. It does seem anything more then 10 years old now is forgotten as 'ancient history' :-P The whole purpose of the original freenode organization seems to have been lost in the mists. Or maybe I'm just getting old and poetic :-P
