Matrix

Some Sugar Labs communication happens on the 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 matrix.org instance: #sugar-labs:matrix.org

The easiest way to connect to Matrix is using the Element app, available for web browsers, desktops and mobile devices.

Channels

General:
`#sugar-labs`	Matrix Space that hosts all Sugar channels
`#sugar`	A casual, friendly place where Sugar developers collaborate.
`#sugar-systems`	A channel for discussion about Sugar Labs Infrastructure.
`#music-blocks`	Share your projects and asks questions about Music Blocks
`#musicblocksdev`	Development for Music Blocks visual programming language.

How to use Matrix channels

Connect to one of the above channels, and say hello. You will see a list of the handles (on-line names) of the people in the channel, and the conversation will appear in a scrolling window. Type your message in the command entry area, and press return.
For Matrix under sugar, install the latest Browse activity and navigate to https://app.element.io.
