Hi all, The Freenode IRC network is currently undergoing a spam attack that is affecting the #cython channel there. People definitely do use #cython to ask questions. I and some others try and help them out. It would be a shame to have that community, such as it is, get destroyed by the spam attack. Freenode has a way for a project to take control of the IRC channel associated with their name by mailing projects@freenode.net and working with an admin to prove who you say you are. For matplotlib they asked Tom Caswell to push a branch with a randomly chosen name to github. If someone associated with the project is willing to do something like that, I would be very happy to volunteer to admin the channel and set the channel settings to mitigate the spam attack. I'm currently doing a similar process to get admin powers for #ipython and #matplotlib and already have admin powers in #scipy and #numpy. Thanks for your help, -Nathan
Thanks for the heads up. I'd be happy to help with this. On Thu, Aug 9, 2018, 12:55 AM Nathan Goldbaum <nathan12343@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Robert, That’s great. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Feel free to ping me in #cython. Also in the meantime I managed to get the attention of a freenode admin who changed the channel settings so the spam problem is mostly resolved for now. It would still be good to have the channel registered with the project and to set up admins. Nathan On Mon, Aug 13, 2018 at 12:06 PM Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer < arj.python@gmail.com> wrote:
