As part of that, the Ubuntu IRC Council, supported by the Community Council, published a resolution [2] suggesting the move to Libera Chat. The former IRC Council and their successors immediately started working on moving our channels, users, and tooling over to Libera Chat.

You will be able to find the same channels, the same people, and the same tools that you are used to. In the event that you see something is not quite right, please, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Ubuntu IRC Team, on #ubuntu-irc.
