<br>
It seems freenode is currently receiving a lot of unsolicited traffic<br>
across all channels. The freenode team are aware [1] and doing their<br>
best.<br>
<br>
There are not really a lot of options. We can set "+r" on channels<br>
which means only nickserv registered users can join channels. We have<br>
traditionally avoided this, because it is yet one more barrier to<br>
communication when many are already unfamiliar with IRC access.<br>
However, having channels filled with irrelevant messages is also not<br>
very accessible.<br>
<br>
This is temporarily enabled in #openstack-infra for the time being, so<br>
we can co-ordinate without interruption.<br>
<br>
Thankfully AFAIK we have not needed an abuse policy on this before;<br>
but I guess we are the point we need some sort of coordinated<br>
response.<br>
<br>
I'd suggest to start, people with an interest in a channel can request<br>
+r from an IRC admin in #openstack-infra and we track it at [2]<br>
<br>
Longer term ... suggestions welcome? :)<br>

We can provide auto-sending to emails invitations for joining by clicking the button on some page at <a href="http://openstack.org">openstack.org</a>. It will not add more berrier for new contributors and, at the same time, this way will give some base filtering by emails at least.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
