== Matrix ==
Some Sugar Labs communication happens on the [https://matrix.org/ Matrix] network. Matrix is designed for group communication in discussion ''channels'', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well.
The Sugar Labs community has a ''Space'' hosted on the '''<tt>matrix.org</tt>''' instance: '''#sugar-labs:matrix.org'''
The easiest way to connect to Matrix is using the [https://element.io Element] app, available for web browsers, desktops and mobile devices.
