Hi Trish
As you know you asked me on IRC for more information about the IRC cloaks.
Mageia needs to be registered first on Freenode as a group. Whoever set
up the original Mageia channels such as #mageia and #mageia-dev has
hopefully probably already done this over a year ago.
Then once Mageia is officially registered with Freenode, a group contact
can do certain things such as asking the Freenode staff to give
contributors IRC cloaks.
I already knew about this, but my other email didn't explain how to do it.
Please bring this up in the council meeting as you suggested, and here
are links:
