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.
