As of today, Open Projects Net has changed its name. We are now freenode!
+
This does not represent a change in philosophy or direction for the network. It will, however, provide us a short, memorable name which will help keep us in people's minds as we continue to grow. It should be a very positive change.

For more information on the change, please take a quick look at the [FAQ](http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#namechange). Welcome to freenode!
