I shall ask you, the community, if you would adopt Matrix as an IRC
alternative.
You should know, that there was a bridge to Matrix already working in
the freenodesystem. it had some minor bugs, but all was mirrored from
irc to matrix.
It's possible to host this for the Exim Community, used to the sole
purpose of offering some public channels,
which can be visted by any Matrix Account on any homeserver out there in
the federation.
No other registration is needed, than your own matrix account somewhere
else.
The Exim team could/should have accounts on this server to use some
internal devs/security channels
and connect to each other easier. It's also possible to have distro-sec
channel there. No limits.
The service of the needed server/service would be free of charge (
sponsered ).
It would be a permanent home for Exim.
Alternative szenario:
The matrix service is hosted on the same server than the exim webpage (
gives cooler domainnames für the matrix accounts ;) ).
Advantages of a Matrix server:
- E2EE
- Audio/Video support via E2E-Peers.
- No need to hop between irc networks anymore
- no third party dependencys
- next to no administration effort, once the init setup is done.
- Rights management
- cryptostorage
- Groupchannel for Security, Distrosupport etc.
