[https://www.matrix.org Matrix] is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communications. KDE is officially using Matrix for collaboration for KDE, superseding more antiquated and closed source services. Matrix is an open protocol and network for decentralized communication, backed by an open standard and open source reference implementations for servers, clients, client SDKs, bridges, bots and more. It provides all the features you’d expect from a modern chat system: infinite scrollback, file transfer, typing notifications, read receipts, presence, search, push notifications, stickers, VoIP calling and conferencing, etc. It even provides end-to-end encryption (based on Signal’s double ratchet algorithm) for when you want some privacy.

== Clients ==
== Getting Started ==
You can chat using your web browser and visiting [https://webchat.kde.org KDE's webchat] or you can use a desktop or mobile client. [https://matrix.org/docs/projects/clients-matrix Here is a list of clients for your desktop or mobile devices].


== Registering and Logging in ==
See the [https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ "Try Matrix" page] created by the Matrix Foundation, which has a walk-through of how to start chatting with Matrix.


==== On the web ====
While registrations on the KDE Matrix homeserver are '''closed''', you can register on '''any Matrix homeserver''' and you will be able to talk to anyone using Matrix.
# Visit [https://webchat.kde.org KDE's online webchat]
# Locate the ''Create Account'' button. Press it. <br /> [[File:Riot upload 00.png|300px|center]]
# Choose a cool nickname and set your password. You can include an email if you ever need to recover your password, but this is optional. Click ''Register''. <br />[[File:Kde-register.png|300px|center]]
<br>
That's it! You can start chatting with members of KDE's community.


==== Using the Riot desktop client ====
You should pick a homeserver from this [https://joinmatrix.org/servers/ list of public homeservers]. The [https://app.element.io/#/register official matrix.org homeserver] is also available, but it will be slower due to its high number of users.


Download the desktop client [https://riot.im/desktop.html from Riot's website]. APT repositories with Debian/Ubuntu packages are provided. Your mileage may vary for other distributions, but just bear in mind the latest stable version at the moment of writing is 1.0. That or higher is the version you should aim for.
After registration you may use any Matrix website to log in, but KDE provides an instance of Element Web hosted at [https://webchat.kde.org webchat.kde.org] ('''Registering an account here is disabled, create an account from other webserver and login here''') that you can use anytime to log in, no matter where you registered your account.


Registration is the same process as the steps above. Make sure you select Premium hosting and input https://kde.modular.im as the Server Name if you would like a Matrix account on KDE's Modular homeserver.
To log in to the KDE Matrix Webchat with an account from a different homeserver, use your full '''''@username:homeserver.com''''' instead of your plain username, like so:


[[File:Web_registration_01.png|300px|center]]
:@johndoe:matrix.org


==== Using the Riot client for mobile ====
You may also use any [https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/ desktop or mobile Matrix client]. KDE provides a Matrix client that you can use called [https://apps.kde.org/neochat/ NeoChat].


===== Android =====
== Support for KDE Matrix servers ==  
The Riot client is available from [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.vector.alpha Google Play] and [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.alpha/ F-Droid].


===== iOS =====
You can ask questions related to Matrix over the [https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-matrix-support:kde.org #kde-matrix-support:kde.org] room. If you need help with the IRC integration in Matrix, see the [[Matrix/IRC Help]] page.


There is also [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vector.im/id1083446067 a client for iOS available from Apple's App Store].
== Space home ==


===== Plasma Mobile =====
If your Matrix client supports browsing spaces (like Element) then you can join the [https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-community:kde.org KDE Community Matrix space home]. Here you can see and search the list of Matrix rooms and spaces from the KDE Community.
Coming soon! ;-)

In fact, they won't even know that you are using the Matrix bridge instead of a classic IRC client.

KDE is officially using Matrix for collaboration within the community. Matrix is an open protocol and network for decentralized communication. It provides all the features you would expect from a modern chat system: infinite scrollback, file transfer, typing notifications, read receipts, etc. It even provides end-to-end encryption for privacy (for private conversations).

Furthermore, Matrix natively supports bridges to other protocols, such as IRC where KDE also has channels. This means that you can use a Matrix client to join and use IRC channels as if they were Matrix rooms.

Getting Started

See the "Try Matrix" page created by the Matrix Foundation, which has a walk-through of how to start chatting with Matrix.

While registrations on the KDE Matrix homeserver are closed, you can register on any Matrix homeserver and you will be able to talk to anyone using Matrix.

You should pick a homeserver from this list of public homeservers. The official matrix.org homeserver is also available, but it will be slower due to its high number of users.

After registration you may use any Matrix website to log in, but KDE provides an instance of Element Web hosted at webchat.kde.org (Registering an account here is disabled, create an account from other webserver and login here) that you can use anytime to log in, no matter where you registered your account.

To log in to the KDE Matrix Webchat with an account from a different homeserver, use your full @username:homeserver.com instead of your plain username, like so:

@johndoe:matrix.org

You may also use any desktop or mobile Matrix client. KDE provides a Matrix client that you can use called NeoChat.

Support for KDE Matrix servers

You can ask questions related to Matrix over the #kde-matrix-support:kde.org room. If you need help with the IRC integration in Matrix, see the Matrix/IRC Help page.

Space home

If your Matrix client supports browsing spaces (like Element) then you can join the KDE Community Matrix space home. Here you can see and search the list of Matrix rooms and spaces from the KDE Community.
