About us. (WiP)

Chat with us!

We try our best to let people use their favorite chat client to join us. Currently, we use native Matrix rooms which are also accessible via Jabber/XMPP and IRC. For pre-existing projects, their official chatrooms are bridged where possible, even if they're on the non-libre Discord platform. New projects should take advantage of FreeGameDev's cross-platform integration.

Official chatrooms

  • general: chat about libre games, their development and philosophy matrix xmpp libera-chat fgd archive
  • matchmaking: matchmaking service/bot to find people to play with matrix xmpp libera-chat fgd archive
  • offtopic: for discussions with Libre Gaming folks about everything except libregaming matrix xmpp libera-chat fgd archive
  • organization: meta channel for discussing the LibreGaming.org project itself matrix xmpp libera-chat fgd archive

To join one such room called ROOM, configure your client according to the instructions below.
