Hi list,
first of all a disclaimer:
As someone heavily involved with IRC (I am freenode staff) I am of course
slightly biased.
However: various communities I am in, including freenode, frequently has a
look as alternative protocols. They come and, compared to IRC, they also go.

-1 as well. As Luigi said, matrix.org is a better replacement because
the bridge is already up there. Also, it is federated, and FOSS.

Hi everyone,
Berlin, Germany will once again host a Qt World Summit this year, on
October 10th through 12th. This follows on from the Qt Contributor
Summit on October 9th and 10th.
As in previous years, we want KDE To have a strong presence at this
event, which draws much of the wider Qt communi

+1 for Matrix - given that it's bridged to Freenode, all you have to do
is give out Matrix links instead of linking people to IRC and they'll be
able to participate in the same community.
You might want to look into creating Matrix rooms manually if you want
more control over the room (the ability

I mainly contribute to the WikiToLearn project and for some months we have

There seems to be a native Qt/QML client for Matrix (
https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/quaternion.html), it even seems to
be developed by a fellow KDE member, judging from the screenshoot.

Another -1 from me.
I use both KDE's BNC and Matrix. I started using Matrix as BNC, but I even

Yes, but the bridge is quite buggy.
In their defense: as are most other bridges, e.g. personally I think the
Matrix IRC bridge is horrible, buggy (it breaks protocol in various places)

Would be worth asking the teams who don't use IRC why they don't.
Sysadmins use Slack, VDG uses Hangouts, Promo uses Telegram... anyone
from those teams able to tell us why?

I guess as KDE's "IRC guy" (I maintain Konversation) I should chime
in here.
I like IRC. I regard IRC as important. I think without IRC none of
the past 20 years of KDE would have happened, and the reasons for
IRC being a successful technology for us and many others start
with "chatting is nice"

FWIW, I didn't keep up with Matrix to well in recent times, but
I remember having a look at it back when it made its first
splash (the LWN article at all) and at the time I considered
it the most promising-looking IRC replacement attempt yet.
It had some of the traits of other attempts that faile
