Action: OpenBMC community messaging survey

[Johnathan Mantey]

Kurt,

I occasionally watch the IRC channel, and I am not a particularly
competent user.
Things I like about continuing to use IRC vs "service z"

 1. IRC is not proprietary
 2. IRC can be accessed using a client of your choosing
 3. I like that it isn't logged. People may be more willing to allow
    their personality to be on display.
 4. IRC permits private side-bands for private conversations.
 5. My experience with IRC is when I need assistance with infrastructure
    issues the key person/people have been readily available. That
    may/may not translate to "service z". In addition, do we really need
    to permanently record "The CI server doesn't seem to be working." ?
 6. IRC doesn't collect data about me.
 7. Freenode could disappear tomorrow, and the community would not be
    impacted for long.
