#xfce IRC channel ownership

Hello,

Today, we had some problem with some spammers on #xfce and there was
no op available. The guys from the Freenode staff came to the rescue.
At the same time, they told us that the IRC account which was used to
register the channel has expired. Consequently, the channel is now
owned by the Freenode staff.

It seems we can register as a group on
http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml and prevent the channel
from being "abandonned". What do you think about this? If nobody has
time to do that, I can take care of it.

By the way, it would be great to have a few more ops on #xfce. Some
regulars such as s0ulslack could do a great job.

Cheers,
Jérôme

I'll do it if you want.  I'm usually lurking about.

Yes, please do.  I tried to register us as a group a year or so ago, but
my request seemed to fall into a black hole.  I didn't bother to follow up.

Fine by me, as long as they aren't abusive.

I filed the request today, I hope the freenode staff will review it quickly.

Ok, this is fixed now, our registration has just been accepted. I was
set as the primary contact as I did the registration. If one of the core
developpers wants to have this position and its rights, just ask me and
I can transfer it. Meanwhile, I added s0ulslack, squisher and JPohlmann
to the list of ops.

Cheers,
Jérôme
