-How to use Mumble
-- Mumble is free and open source software that can be download from - Mumble.info. It is - a low-latency voice client that lets you talk to your fellow - players using your microphone. -
-- After installation, you will need to configure your audio first. The - helpful audio wizard will guide your through the settings. -
-- Once that is all set up, you can connect to the Mumble server by - using the mumble link from the Home page. - You should be able to connect and see something like this: -
-
- - By default, you will be place in the Root, but you can double-click - on any channel to join. You will most likely want to go to the Lobby, - however, you can see which channels the other people hang out in. Note - that there will likely only be people here during the actual event. -
-How to use Matrix/Element
-- For text-based chatting, there is the Matrix channel. Matrix is a chat - protocol (amongst other things). To use the Matrix protocol, you will - need a client to connect to it. One of the most popular ones is called - Element which you can either download from - element.io or just run in - your browser. If you don't have an account yet, you will be able to - create one. -
-- Once you are logged in, you can follow the Matrix link on the - Home page. It will take you to a page - asking about the application you want to use. If you downloaded - Element before, click on the Continue button for that. You should - be able to connect and see something like this: -
-
- There are usually people here, even outside of the event.
-How to use XMPP/Movim
-- Another option for text-based chatting is XMPP. It's another protocol, - like Matrix but you can use it to join the same chat channel as above. - The two protocols are "bridged" which means that users can simply - talk to eachother despite using different protocols. -
-- Like the Matrix protocol, there are also many XMPP chat clients - available. One of the easier ones it Movim.eu. - It allows you to easily create and account if you don't already have - an XMPP account. -
-- From there, you can start the web-based client at mov.im. - After logging in, choose "chats" and then click on the big plus symbol. -
-
- - In the new screen that pops up, you will find "Join a chatroom" - and then "Join a custom chatroom". Paste the room name from - the link on the Home page. You can type anything - you want in the Name field. That's only visible for you as the name - of this room. -

- Additionally, there was a fundraiser to help the people suffering - from the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦. I matched your donation - (up to $500 total) and additionally, the government of Canada - 🇨🇦 will match mine until 18 March. So, that's triple - the value for any donation you make. It doesn't have to be to the - Canadian Red Cross, you probably have a local equivalent. -
-- UPDATE (2022-03-08): Canada reached the $10M already so they are not - doubling anymore. I'll still double but this means your amount won't - count as triple anymore. -
-- UPDATE (2022-03-13): Canada increased the limit to $30M, so - any donation you make is once again tripled. -
-- UPDATE (2022-03-14): Oh, never mind, this goal has already - been reached. Anyway, I'll still match what you donate! -
-- UPDATE (2022-03-19): Donations are closed. A total amount - of €40 was collected and the equivalent of CAD 55.64 was - donated to the Canadian Red Cross. -
