title: 'Freenode IRC and Gentoo'
---
According to the information published recently, there have been major
changes in the way the Freenode IRC network is administered. This has
resulted in a number of staff members raising concerns about the new
administration and/or resigning. A large number of open source projects
have already announced the transition to other IRC networks, or are
actively discussing it.
It is not yet clear whether and how these changes will affect Gentoo.
We are observing as the situation develops. It is possible that we will
decide to move the official Gentoo channels to another network
in the best interest of our users. At the same time, we realize that
such a move will be an inconvenience to them.
At the same time, it has came to our attention that certain individuals
have been using the situation to impersonate Gentoo developers on other
IRC networks. The official Gentoo developers can be identified
on Freenode by their gentoo/developer cloak. If we move to another
network, we will announce claiming a respective cloak.
Please check this page for future updates.

## 2021-05-22 update
The Gentoo Council will be meeting tomorrow (Sunday, 2021-05-23)
at 19:00 UTC to discuss the problem and the possible solutions.
The Gentoo Group Contacts team has been taking steps in order to ensure
readiness for the most likely options.
