Hi,<br>
<br>
Thank you all for the feedback so far!<br>
<br>
I haven’t received any objections against the option to start using Matrix as a chat tool for the StarlingX community. People had questions on the Community Call about the tool today, so I collected some useful information to help exploring it:<br>
<br>
- As a reminder, you can find out more about the tool here: <a href="https://matrix.org/">

During the Community Call, it also came up that it would be great to agree on how we would like to utilize a chat tool. For instance, to aovid having too many channels, etc. The current proposal to the Matrix setup is the following:<br>
<br>
- Have multiple chat rooms available for community communication:<br>
  + starlingx-general room - topics that are relevant to the whole community<br>
  + StarlingX project team channels<br>
    ~ topics that are relevant to a project team<br>
    ~ ie: starlingx-build, starlingx-containers, etc<br>
  + Optional channel ideas - specific topic areas that are outside of the existing project teams<br>
    ~ starlingx-newcomers<br>
    ~ starlingx-troubleshooting<br>
<br>
<br>
__ If you are in support to use Matrix as the chat tool for StarlingX moving forward, please reply to this email with ‘+1’.__<br>
<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you need help with setting up Matrix.<br>
