@usul already done
@usul bonus for 1) if possible, create it somewhere else than on matrix.org instance, which is very big compared to the others (a bit more decentralization won't do any harm :), and often overloaded because of that.
@Lapineige So chat.fosdem.org is a good alternative :p
@usul oh ok, I didn't know that there were a dedicated instance 😄
(I thought you were talking about matrix.org)
@Lapineige @usul non, tu as toutes les rooms sur le chat.fosdem.org
@Natouille @Lapineige @usul #help user sous matrix.org je trouve pas les salons fosdem.org
@Vz01 @Natouille @Lapineige /join #mozilla:chat.fosdem.org par exemple
@usul ça y est, merci...
Sur desktop ; sur l'appli pas trouvé !
But chat.fosdem.org is host with Element Matrix Services so it's the same infastructure with matrix.org
Not realy decentralized
@dj @Lapineige I use the mozilla instance a,d yes it's pretty centralized when using new vector services (but using these makes the pays for the development)
@dj @usul @Lapineige matrix.org isn't hosted by Element Matrix Services; it's entirely separate infrastructure on UpCloud.com, funded by donations from our Patreon (although the Foundation outsources admin for the server to Element).
@jeroen they are federated, I use my Mozilla account to access it. The server is at chat.fosdem.org, when you search a room add the server first.
@usul Tried that on element mobile but doesn’t work. On element web, I could add the fosdem.org server and then list the rooms. Thanks for your help. I still think there should be a matrix link in every room but haven’t found it on the fosdem site…
@usul @jeroen Me neither but you can guess the name from the schedule. For instance:
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/room/dpython/
Name of the room displayed: D.python
Join #python:fosdem.org
@bortzmeyer the fedora stand is at fedora-stand:fosdem.org because there will be stands too, not just rooms.
@bortzmeyer @usul aside from the similarities with Fediverse/XMPP, how to choose a server if you don't have your own?
I'm a complete newbie on Matrix in case you've not noticed yet :)
@Keltounet @bortzmeyer for me it was easy, there's a mozilla server.
@usul @bortzmeyer is it open to everyone?
@Keltounet @usul For corporate reasons, I choosed a server under .fr.
@bortzmeyer @Keltounet you don't have access to the french gvt one?
@usul @Keltounet I'm not a civil servant.
@bortzmeyer @usul what do I have to do to create an account there? Anyone to ask permission to or is it completely open?
I don't see a "welcome" page like in Mastodon.
@Keltounet @usul Completely open, you register from your #Matrix client (a bit like XMPP).
@bortzmeyer @usul ok, thanks, done :)
@usul What are the rooms?
@alarig well connect to chat.fosdem.org to see them :p I'm in BSD , mozilla and openspatial
and the fedora-stand too
I shoudl have tagged this with #FOSDEM2021
