[Starlingx-discuss] New IRC channel for Gerrit notifications - UPDATE

[Ildiko Vancsa]

Hi Everyone,

Based on the votes here I went ahead and created the new IRC channel for the Gerrit notifications. I already got the system configured and have the project channel available for conversations now.

With that, that StarlingX project has two channel on the OFTC network now:

#starlingx - channel for project and community related discussions
#starlingx-gerritbot - channel to capture and highlight notifications from Gerrit about new and merged patches

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Ildikó

We also have a few bots set up for this channel, one of which sends a notification to the channel whenever there is a new change that is proposed or get merged into any of the StarlingX repos. While it is a useful feature, it makes the project channel very noisy and makes it hard to maintain a conversation due to the high volume of Gerrit notifications.
