Closed Projects is a retelling of [a four-part series](/blog/series/freenode) on
|
|
my blog where I process the events that lead to the death of freenode, the
|
|
largest IRC network for peer-directed projects.
|
|
|
|
freenode was the reason that I managed to get into tech. Without freenode I
|
|
would be a vastly different person today. The death of freenode last year
|
|
brought up many lingering memories and emotions. I talk about my history with
|
|
freenode, the events that happened in the wake of its death and how a new
|
|
community took its place.
|
|
|
|
Each part of this story is written by weaving the narrative of the last
|
|
caretaker trying to protect the discussion halls against the darkness, and
|
|
things continue as the darkness gets more crafty and clever.
|
|
|
|
I have included versions of this for all common eBook reader devices and
|
|
formats. I have tested this on my Kindle Oasis and iPad Pro, but I see no reason
|
|
that at least one of these formats wouldn't work for you.
