OFTC is a competing IRC network run by tomaw who also is staging a hostile takeover of freenode as we speak.

OFTC is run by the OFTC board (of which tomaw is a member) on behalf of Software in the Public Interest, who originally organized it for Debian.

According to the current freenode people page, tomaw is head of staffing, projects and communities and also the overall project lead in charge of the other heads.

Edit: here’s the staff as of 23 Apr. tomaw is still there today, the rest are gone, including fuchs.

Edit: Given the situation with PIA

maybe it wold be a positive event from the POV of the free sw community?

Edit 2: Er, I guess not:
