Let me explain. [Freenode][1] started at an IRC channel named #LinPeople in the 1990s.(IRC or [Internet Relay Chat][2] is a chat protocol that has been around since the late 1980s and was widely used by open-source groups.) Over time, the channel became Open Projects Network and because a separate IRC network. The name was later changed to Freenode. At it’s height, Freenode was one of the largest IRC networks on the web. - -However, the popularity of IRC has fallen in recent years. It has been replaced by the likes of Twitter, Slack, and Element. There is still a good number of people using IRC, but not as many as there once was. - -### Under New Management - -The [original founder of Freenode][3], Rob Levin aka lilo, died in a traffic accident in 2006. The project was taken over by Christel Dahlskjaer. In 2017, Christel contacted Andrew Lee, founder of the Private Internet Access VPN, about the possibility of him acquiring the project. - -Lee told [The Register][3]: - -> “I have been providing financial and infrastructural sponsorship, through one of my companies, to Freenode for the past 8 years. While it had been discussed previously, Christel reached out in 2017 asking if I would be willing to acquire the company and fund it more dramatically. Given the fact that I love IRC and have been supportive of Freenode for so many years, I obliged.” - -In an [open letter][4] to the IRC community, Lee spoke of his plans to revive the aging protocol. This involved education through IRC University, IRC Gaming to attract new users, venture capital for new IRC project and more. - -### Trouble Arises - -The volunteers who helped run Freenode didn’t agree with some of the changes that Lee was making. Many of them thought that Lee’s Freenode Limited would limited to taking care of legal and copyright isseus and not interfere with the day to day running of the project. Recently, he started trying to make changes. - -There is a lot of confusion over what went on, but a turning point seemed to be when Lee demanded that the logo for one of his other companies, Shells, be placed on the top navigation bar. Some volunteers also appear to be unhappy with the fact that [Christel sold][5] the project to Lee in the first place. - -Regarding the logos, Lee [said][6]: - -> “As I have been funding freenode since 2013, there has been a logo of one of my companies or a company I’m involved in on the website. In general, FOSS projects have historically struggled to obtain funding and often times simply showing sponsors on the website helps to alleviate this to some degree. This is no different here. Every company that has appeared on the freenode website has provided financial sponsorship or servers or both to freenode. I want to send a clear message to those who disagree – you’re not helping FOSS, and your behavior of [ritual defamation][7] is [toxic at best][8]. We want to encourage sponsors to help open source developers and communities to be sustainable, not the opposite. - -[According to Lee][9], the disagreements led to Tomaw, Freenode’s head of projects and communities, [locking][6] Lee out. “When I asked for access back, I was denied and suddenly a story that I was attempting a hostile takeover began to spread.” - -Disagreements between the two parties escalated. As a result, a legion of Freenode volunteers have resigned their positions claiming that Lee was attempting a hostile takeover. [Several][10] of them say that Lee’s actions are ruing IRC. They went so far as to create their own IRC network named [Libera.chat][11]. - -### Some Things Don’t Add Up - -Right now, it’s difficult to parse out all the nuances of what took place at Freenode. Hopefully, things will be come clear with time. That being said there some things that bother me about the language used by some individuals involved and the reporting on this story. I’d like to address them here. - -Everything I’ve read both by the volunteers that resigned, and the open-source news seems to be a personal attack on Andrew Lee. Lee is referred to numerous times as a Korean or Korean prince. (Lee was [made][12] the crown prince of the Imperial Family of Korea in 2018, but since Korean has no monarchy it doesn’t really mean anything.) - -I find this very disingenuous considering that Lee was born and raised in America. In fact in [his note on IRC.com][4], he said, “As a minority growing up in the middle of America, racism was a thing, and it would be a lie if I said that I never shed a tear over this. In this turbulent world, where but few genes dictate our outer appearance, and chimpanzees share 99% of the same DNA as us, somehow, we’re only focused on what our eyes are seeing.” Ironically, one of the of former volunteers said that going forward, Freenode would [not be a safe place][13] for “marginalized communities”. - -Very few news articles mentioned that Lee and his companies have donated money to open-source and free software groups. These include the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, Internet Society, Open Rights Group, and others. - -Many of the articles that I have read refer to the departing volunteers as staff. This gives the false impress that these people were paid for their work and were making a big sacrifice by leaving. Really, they are leaving one project for a similar more woke project. - -Speaking of the new project, Libera.chat popped into existence seemingly the same day all the volunteers resigned. Something this complex would have taken time and effort to build. This has been in the works for some time and feels very orchestrated. - -### Final Thoughts - -When I first encountered this story, I got mad at Andrew Lee for ruining one of the last IRC titans. But the more I read, the more my mind changed. When I read [one volunteer][5] referring to him as “Trumpian wannabe korean royalty bitcoins millionaire” I knew something was up. - -This story and the way it’s being reported is another example of the politicization of tech. It used to be that tech was the place that you could get away from the crazy politics going on in the world. Unfortunately, that sanctuary is being infected too. To reflect that, a [number of open-source project][14] have fled from Freenode to prove their wokeness. - -I’m not sure what the future will bring for Freenode or Libera. I wish that the future of tech (and open source in particular) looked brighter. Lee has a lot of place to advance IRC, including decentralization. I hope he gets a chance to make them a reality before the mob cancels him. - -As Dr. Roy Schestowitz from [TechRights][15], says “Stick with Freenode for now. There’s no reason to rush away; it’s not like data is being sold or anything like that.” - -#### Big Tech Websites Get Millions in Revenue, It's FOSS Got You! - -If you like what we do here at It's FOSS, please consider making a donation to support our independent publication.

Considering it is one of the best ways to [take a screenshot in Linux][2], Shutter getting back to repositories will be a good thing. - -### Shutter 0.96 Release: What’s New? - -With the latest 0.96 version release, Shutter aims to drop dependency on GTK 2 so that it could work just fine when included in the main Ubuntu repository. - -Of course, [GTK 4][3] is the latest release that comes with GNOME 40, that will take a while for all Linux distros to adopt with their next upgrade. - -However, Shutter 0.96 has managed to include **GTK 3 support**, better late than never. - -With GTK 3 support onboard, it now relies on new dependencies that are present in the Ubuntu repositories.

In fact, a feature has been removed as per the announcement: - -> The feature of taking a section of window is removed (or, rather, commented out), because it didn’t work with the way how modern Qt and Gtk were drawing their windows anyway. - -It makes sense while it wasn’t the most used option for many users, I assume. - -Also, there a few pointers mentioned in the release notes for potential issues which you can explore more about in their [GitHub page][5]: - - * Multiple screens might or might not be broken - * HiDPI screens might do screenshot of a nested menu in a wrong place - - - -[Download Shutter 0.96][6] - -### Wrapping Up - -While this is not entirely an exciting release for the users, the support for GTK 3 should help make Shutter available in the main Ubuntu repository. - -Until then, you may have to rely on Linux Uprising’s PPA to get the latest release.

You will still find the availability of CentOS Linux 8 and 7 but their support will end at the end of 2021 and 2024 (maintenance updates) respectively. - -CentOS Stream will completely replace CentOS Linux as we know it. But, what is it? Is it meant to replace CentOS? Is it reliable enough? - -In this article, we shall discuss everything briefly that you need to know about CentOS Stream. - -### What is CentOS Stream? - -![][2] - -Unlike CentOS Linux, CentOS Stream was introduced as an upstream to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). And, it is not a rolling-release distribution. - -**CentOS Stream is instead a development version of RHEL.** - -For more clarity on how CentOS Stream is developed, I’ll recommend you to read one of the [official blog posts on CentOS continuous delivery][3]. - -Of course, Fedora is yet another upstream, but CentOS Stream has been positioned between RHEL and Fedora Linux. - -With CentOS Stream, the CentOS community members can have a bigger potential to influence the development of RHEL. - -Considering that CentOS Stream is a distribution that tracks just ahead of RHEL, any significant change in Fedora should be expected to reflect in CentOS Stream while RHEL being the next stop. - -### What Problems Does CentOS Stream Solve? - -As you know, that the development of RHEL is closed inside Red Hat itself. - -Being something that supports an open-source ecosystem, there existed an open contribution gap for the developers and the community to influence or contribute to the development of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. - -**For that very reason, CentOS Stream was introduced as a preview version of RHEL or you could call it as a development build of RHEL.** - -_CentOS Stream is meant to bridge the gap and let the community contribute and have a say in the direction of development for RHEL._ - -Of course, looking at it from a business perspective, CentOS Stream aims to encourage RHEL subscriptions but let’s not ignore the ease of contribution to RHEL development via CentOS Stream. - -In addition to this resolution, CentOS Stream also tries to provide a more stable preview version of RHEL. As per one of their [official blog posts][3], they mentioned the RHEL nightly builds are updates for CentOS Stream, and they try to ensure better stability every day with CentOS Stream. - -And, that’s a good thing for folks who want to test the upcoming changes in RHEL. - -### Is it meant to replace CentOS Linux? - -No. - -CentOS Linux was a rebuild of RHEL i.e a community edition of RHEL. - -But, CentOS Stream is a development version of RHEL, which will include upcoming changes and additions that are meant for RHEL. - -So, CentOS Stream is more suitable for folks who want to test their servers if they are future proof (RHEL Ready) and potentially for CentOS Linux users considering that the build is stable enough as per their requirements. - -However, it is interesting to note that for some, it may replace CentOS Linux considering that it is not technically a rolling release. - -And, if you’re someone who does not want to try it, feel free to try the [CentOS alternatives][4] available. - -### Migrate from CentOS 8 to CentOS Stream - -Fortunately, it is not that tough to update your CentOS system to CentOS Stream. The CentOS team offer a tool to automates removing the CentOS repositories and adding CentOS Stream repos. - -You can refer to our [migration guide on LinuxHandbook][5] for further information. - -It is always recommended having a backup of your server before you migrate or update your system. - -Should you do it? That entirely depends on what you think of CentOS Stream from everything you read about it in this article. - -### Migrate from CentOS to Red Hat Enterprise Linux - -After receiving a backlash for the sudden discontinuation of CentOS 8, Red Hat announced that it will [give up to 16 RHEL licenses for free to any user][6]. The technical support from Red Hat is not included in this offer. - -If you want to take advantage of this offer, you should create an account for the [no-cost RHEL][7]. Afterwards, you may follow this guide to [convert your CentOS to RHEL][8]. - -### Concluding Thoughts - -Personally, I have mixed feelings about CentOS Stream. Yes, it is indeed something that open ups the development of RHEL but if it’s a replacement for CentOS Linux? I don’t think so. - -Yes, it will encourage RHEL subscriptions for sure and if you’re interested to shape up the development of RHEL, CentOS Stream will be a good option for you. - -What do you think about CentOS Stream?
