Just as a final reminder, I'm looking at sending over the initial batch
of requests tomorrow afternoon. If anyone out there still wants a cloak,
please let me know ASAP so I can get your request in with the initial
batch to make less work for the freenode staff.
Also, an updated list of IRC cloaks can be found here (since we had a
discussion on IRC to add a de-gendered alum cloak):

Thanks!

Hey everyone!
As of now, we are officially registered as a project with freenode. As
mentioned before, this also means that we can now request custom
hostname cloaks for members of the RIT community in IRC.
What does this mean? An IRC cloak is like a "mask" for your hostname
whenever you connect to a channel. For example, if I join an IRC channel
without a cloak, it might look like the following:
* jwf (jflory7(a)laptop.student.rit.edu) has joined
If I have a cloak and I am logged into NickServ, it could look like this
instead:
* jwf (jflory7@rit/foss/student) has joined
As of now, we have a few options for people to pick from! If I can
collect a list of usernames and the desired cloaks, I can send this list
to the freenode staff to add the cloaks to your freenode NickServ
accounts. It will help the staff team if we can send them a list at once
instead of doing multiple, one-off requests.
Here's the list of cloaks we currently have available:
* @rit/student
* @rit/professor
* @rit/faculty
* @rit/alumnus
* @rit/alumnae
* @rit/foss/student
* @rit/foss/captain
* @rit/foss/faculty
* @rit/foss/alumnus
* @rit/foss/alumnae
* @rit/ritlug/member
* @rit/ritlug/alumnus
* @rit/ritlug/alumnae
It's also possible to add a Linux distribution or another open source
project community to the cloak, before the last identifier, e.g.
@rit/ritlug/fedora/member or @rit/foss/musicbrainz/member.
If you would like one of these cloaks, please reply back to this email
with your IRC NickServ username and which cloak you would like. :)
Thanks all!
