Andrew Lee has nothing to do with Ergo. Daniel used to be his employee (before the freenode takeover), but Ergo wasn't part of the job at all.

As the co-maintainer of Ergo, since I joined the project in 2017 it has never (to the best of my knowledge) received any funding from Andrew Lee or any company affiliated with him.

In terms of ongoing specification and development work, we take direction primarily from the IRCv3 working group, in which we are both participants: https://ircv3.net/charter>

Oh haha, hey! I was employed by Andrew across a fair few of his companies (I didn't know Shells.com was owned by him while I was working there though). Buuuut this is entirely unrelated to him, same as my other project https://ircdocs.horse/

It's totally fair to make that link, but I very explicitly told everyone over at LTM/H (including PIA and Handshake) that Oragono/Ergo and ircdocs were not work projects in any way. And while I was working on Shells.com, I was very explicit that I wouldn't be touching any IRC stuff for money while there.

But yeah, it's definitely good to be wary of these kinda links, given what happened to snoo's and fn/libera's team. If you wanna ask any more questions about my stuff in particular, feel free to ask here or send me a mail at daniel@danieloaks.net

I've noticed some collaboration between shells.com and Linux Mint. Do you know if Andrew is involved or trying to become involved in Linux Mint? I love that distro and community and don't want to see it damaged by this man.

To be fair there was also collaboration between PIA and Linux Mint while I worked at PIA. That'd probably be a question best answered by the Mint people who're involved
