The status of freenode (the IRC network used by KDE)

[Christian]

Hullo, 

Last I heard from our favourite Matrix doggo, Half-Shot, the bridge should 
leave beta state and be ready to be "released" beginning this week. 
No idea about the EMS state of course, not involved there. 

Thanks for the work and looking forward to say hi on the Libera side,
