Some Sugar Labs chat takes place on Matrix (see [[wikipedia:Matrix|Matrix Protocol]]).
* The [[Activities/IRC|'''IRC activity''']] allows access to IRC from within the Sugar environment.
* Currently, no Sugar Activity allows access to a matrix channel
* You can use a computer-based client to log in to IRC, such as [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin] or [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]. This link should work for such clients: irc://irc.freenode.net#sugar
* You can use a computer-based client to log in to Matrix, such as [https://element.io Element] or [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Fractal Fractal]. This link should work for such clients: #sugar:matrix.org
* Easiest, might be this web browser-based service provided by Element through [https://matrix.to/#/#sugar:matrix.org chat on #sugar:matrix.org now].
* Easiest, might be this web browser-based service provided by freenode through qwebirc to [http://chat.sugarlabs.org chat on #sugar now].
Matrix is designed for group communication in discussion 'channels', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well.
All Matrix channels at Sugar Labs are bridged to their respective IRC channels using [https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/ matrix-appservice-irc]. This bot bridges the IRC channels to Matrix and vice-versa. For your messages to be visible on the IRC side, please follow '''How to use Matrix channel''' section
The Sugar Labs Community uses a series of ''channels'' in the '''<tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>''' network.
