From 1 March 2025, the primary official realtime communications channels for Ubuntu developers will be on Matrix. To avoid fragmentation of conversation, Ubuntu developers should please make sure that they are appropriately present on Matrix, and conduct conversation there instead of the now deprecated IRC channels.
Detailed Ubuntu-specific documentation on how to get started on Matrix is available at https://ubuntu.com/community/communications/matrix "Official" communication, such as making realtime requests of privileged Ubuntu developer teams, could be expected to be actioned if requested on Matrix only. Similarly, you can consider your social responsibility to other developers in relation to your work in Ubuntu development to be fulfilled if you are present on that platform[1]. And Canonical will follow in its requirement for its employed Ubuntu developers to be present on that agreed platform during their working hours. This notice specifically refers to the Libera.Chat IRC channels #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-release, which are moving to the Matrix rooms #devel:ubuntu.com and #release:ubuntu.com respectively[2]. Other Ubuntu development related channels may choose to move at the same time, subject to the decisions of the Ubuntu developer teams that operate them. Please check IRC channel topics and follow the thread on the ubuntu-devel@ mailing list for specifics. This decision was made following discussion and consensus on the ubuntu-devel@ mailing list[3]. On behalf on the Ubuntu Technical Board, Robie [1]: Although if someone exclusively contributes in non-realtime ways using other methods, that's fine, too.
