Following up from discussion on the council-discuss mailing list (
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-
discuss(a)lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/HZT6COEWSOYKPSUTPIUPGV2W4PO5JNDU/
), it seems the consensus from the Fedora community is that the IRC SIG
needs reform and an influx of new people to improve the hostile culture in
Fedora's IRC channels. The current members of the IRC SIG have taken no
initiative to make this happen themselves. Others have expressed interest
in making change, but cannot do so within the existing structure, so it
seems to be up to the Council to implement changes.
Proposed changes from the council-discuss thread:
1. Making channel OP privileges a temporary position
2. Logging administrative actions in a private log for all IRC SIG members
to reference
3. Soliciting other parts of Fedora for new IRC contributors, including
Ask.FPO, CommOps, devel and test lists, and the Diversity SIG. However, it
is not likely many new contributors will come unless there is actually
reason to believe meaningful change will take place on the Fedora IRC
channels.
