Hi, Thanks Jeremy for sharing! I also shared some information about Matrix in a previous email, such as client options and the link to join the current #starlingx channel on the OFTC IRC network here: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-July/014283.html Jeremy and I are working on creating the space and room structure on OpenDev’s Matrix server for StarlingX. Once that is live, I will work with the community to have documentation available about how to join, and pointers to further resources. Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation

I don't think any of the StarlingX contributors have written that documentation yet (at least not that I've seen). Previously I linked to the documentation the Zuul contributors wrote letting their newcomers know how to get on Matrix, but here it is again:
https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/latest/howtos/matrix.html
That and the follow-up documents linked at the end of it are distributed under a free license (it's either Apache 2 or CC BY 3.0, I just realized we don't clarify so I'll get that fixed). You can find the reStructuredText source for them here if you want to fork them to create some specific to StarlingX:
https://opendev.org/zuul/zuul/src/branch/master/doc/source/howtos
That said, it's pretty easy to muddle through without documentation. Most places the Zuul materials simply link to the channel directly like this:
https://matrix.to/#/#zuul:opendev.org
Following that link, users get options to view the channel anonymously, log in or create a new account to be able to start talking, and links to other clients if they don't want to do it in-browser. Note that Matrix is itself a public network built entirely on open source software, so has its own developer community who publishes extensive documentation if you want to dig into details:
