I've proposed a pair of changes removing the OpenDev Collaboratory IRC bots (including logging) from inactive channels. Some of these channels correspond to current groups within the OpenStack community, so it's only fair to give them a heads up and let them know. The following channels have had no human discussion at all (no comments from anything other than our bots) for all of 2021 so far: * #openstack-auto-scaling * #openstack-fr * #openstack-freezer * #openstack-powervm * #openstack-publiccloud * #openstack-self-healing It's fine if these efforts aren't utilizing IRC, but there's probably little point in us logging or reporting information in them if they're unused. The patches for removing our services from those channels are available for review here (they also include cleanup of channels for other known defunct efforts or vestiges of channels which have since move to new names): https://review.opendev.org/792301 https://review.opendev.org/792302 If you're concerned and would like to resume using one or more of these channels, feel free to follow up here on the mailing list or with review comments some time in the next few days. If there are no objections I plan to merge these no later than Monday, May 24. Of course it's quite easy to reinstate services on a channel at any time, so if you don't see this until the changes have already merged, please follow up anyway and we can restore the bots as needed. -- Jeremy Stanley
