By way of announcement, the Koha Community has secured control of the #koha namespace on freenode.
#koha will serve as a backup for our main #koha channel on OFTC. Folks coming in channel there will receive a message pointing them to the main channel.
#koha-news is simply that, a channel for posting Koha related news. huginn will automatically post any items on the blog feed of www.k-c.org. Feel free to post any other Koha related news there as well. This replaces the historic #kohanews channel which will go away at some unknown point when freenode begins enforcing their new namespace policy.
Basically we have control of any channel beginning with '#koha-'
Enjoy!
Kind Regards,
Chris
