# Chat with us!
Currently, our main channels of communication are instant messaging rooms hosted on the [Matrix] network.
They are also accessible via [Jabber/XMPP] and [IRC] protocols, so that contributors can use their favorite client to join us.
[Matrix]: https://matrix.org/
[Jabber/XMPP]: https://joinjabber.org/
[IRC]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
The topic for our main channel is:
> LibreGaming community - general/organizational discussions.
> Join #libregaming-ROOM for specific working groups: website, translations, sysadmin.
> Community pad: https://md.roflcopter.fr/libregaming?both
