13freenode is pleased to announce a few changes effective May 12, 2007 at 12:55 UTC:
14
15
16
17
18 * the (re)formation of #freenode, which will be an official help channel for the freenode network. For more information, please review the [#freenode channel guidelines](http://freenode.net/poundfreenode.shtml).
19
20
21 * the closing of #freenode-social. While#freenode-social has served its purpose for the last couple of years, it has really outgrown itself and is being closed.
22
23
24 * the opening of #defocus, the new social channel for freenode. #defocus is being launched with anticipation of more to come in the near (or mid-) future. It will differ from #freenode-social in a number of ways, including: (1) like #freenode, has its own set of [channel guidelines](http://freenode.net/pounddefocus.shtml), which should help clarify what is on/offtopic in the channel, and (2) unlike -social, #defocus will be -m, which means you won't require voice to talk.
