Hi,
I recently started to become involved in GNU and FSF by installing also
Guix on system. I am part of the Guix Channel on Matrix.
I created three channels on my server privacytools.io I know that there
are some GNU channels on the matrix.org server but I went forth with
creating one on my server. First for Decentralization reasons.
Matrix.org is the biggest server. And second matrix.org is slow due to
the number of users there.
I noticed that there are a lot of GNU projects already there. Some of
them are GUIX, Octave, Gnunet, a lot of GNU channels, Linux Libre and
so forth.
Also I noticed that it is in the roadmap for Guix to have all the
Matrix packages in the repositories. Which a lot of them are already
there.
The benefits to me are first its a modern protocol with a lot of
features. I know not everybody will want all these features though so
we can always set up an IRC bridge to talk with people on the gnu IRC
server.
Second a lot of new users nowdays expect modern tooling and
communication. I think integrating a Matrix server will be a great way
to accomodate them. In a sense it will improve onboarding of new
contributors. Granted we have a long way to go with that in my opinion,
but Matrix is the first piece of the puzzle towards a bigger and more
liveful FSF.
Also I think having a bunch of semi-official channel using
Non-FreeSoftware like Riot does't help anybody.
I would like to ask is it in the works to have an official FSF/GNU
server in the future? Are there any blockers I can help with?
Disclaimer: I am NOT saying to use Riot or any other proprietary client.
