Matrix#

GNOME uses Matrix as its instant messaging platform. This page contains information on how to use it.

Accounts#

To chat in GNOME Matrix rooms, you first need to have a Matrix account. There are two ways to get one:

  1. If you’re not a GNOME Foundation member, you can register for a free account at app.element.io.

  2. GNOME Foundation members can register for a GNOME account at gnome.element.io. To do this, register using an @gnome.org email address.

Once you have a Matrix account, you can login using a Matrix app, such as the Element web app.

Rooms#

Once you are logged into Matrix, you can browse GNOME rooms and join the ones that are of interest to you. Some good ones to start with are:
