Community Jabber/Matrix Chat

It would be nice to have an Jabber or Matrix community chat. Much cooler than a Discourse forum.

True True.

The only question I have is the 24x7 cover. Need a minimum of - say - 8 people to cover all time-zones.

Difficult I would suggest to get active volunteers to commit for the long term.

I guess many people would be down to act as an moderator.

At least I would be :smiley:

Well you are one! 7 more to go

Sadly no one else has responded.

I’m here, happy to host a Matrix and DIscord bridge.

It would be nice to have a discord, the only posable issue i see coming form it is reporting errors or general query, these may get lost in conversation and will not be reported here for others to see?

Yeah, true. I can host it whenever the community wants, just need @fossfreedom’s approval

The issue I have is the expectation of the community. The channel will not have myself or anybody from the team as members/contributors.

This will not be a support route.

Any chat channel must have 24×7 coverage so what team of people will manage to cover this?

Hmm. Well, I’m not sure. I was thinking the official team might join, if not, might be hard.
How about an unofficial one?

@codic unofficial? As in a fan group type of thing? No affiliations or resposabily from owners, but an aprestion of the platform, swapping ideas and configs or general Linux chat could be interesting.

Kinda. I mean something like this: https://ubuntuhideout.com/
