The Sugar Labs Community uses a series of ''channels'' in the '''<tt>matrix.org</tt>''' network.

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.

==== matrix.org channels ====

The easiest way to connect to Matrix is using the [https://element.io Element] app, available for web browsers, desktops and mobile devices.
