== "What is the Matrix?" == | |||
[https://matrix.org/ Matrix] is an open, lightweight protocol for decentralized, real-time communications. | |||
After a long evaluation period, Mozilla has switched to Matrix from [[IRC]] as our preferred open discussion platform. Matrix is a huge improvement in usability, accessibility and safety for the Mozilla community, and we're excited to make this change. | |||
== Community Participation at Mozilla == | |||
The heart of Mozilla is people. We put people first and do our best to recognize, appreciate and respect the diversity of our global contributors. The Mozilla Project welcomes the participation of everyone who shares our goals and wants to contribute in a healthy and constructive manner within our communities. To that end, as with all Mozilla spaces and events we expect participants in our Matrix forums to support and uphold the Mozilla [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/ Community Participation Guidelines] as a condition of participation. | |||

Mozilla's Matrix | === New to Matrix, new to Mozilla? === | ||
Start with the [https://riot.im/app/#/welcome Riot webapp] and create an account. Once you're signed in, you can join the [https://riot.im/app/#/room/#general:mozilla.org #general:mozilla.org] channel for general questions or [https://riot.im/app/#/room/#introduction:mozilla.org #introduction:mozilla.org] if you're interested in getting involved with the Mozilla development process. There are lots more channels to choose from - there's a list of some of them below - and we'll have more as soon as we get them sorted out. | |||
For more details, scroll down to [#Connect_to_Matrix Connect to Matrix ] below. | |||
=== New to Mozilla, already using Matrix? === | |||
If you're already using Matrix, you can join the Mozilla conversation by opening the [https://riot.im/app/#/room/#general:mozilla.org #general:mozilla.org] room for general topics and [https://riot.im/app/#/room/#introduction:mozilla.org #introduction:mozilla.org] if you're interested in getting involved with the Mozilla development process. The whole Mozilla list of rooms isn't settled out and synchronizing across the Matrix ecosystem yet; we're working on it and we'll have a longer list of channels here soon. In the meantime, those are friendly channels and the people there will be able to help you find your way around. You can start using Matrix directly via the [https://riot.im/app/ Riot webapp] or one of the many [https://riot.im/ native applications] available. | |||
