For realtime chat, we use Matrix (similar to Slack, Discord, Mattermost, Zulip, etc).
Note: If you’re a GSoC aspirant, join our “Mathesar - Mentoring Programs” Matrix channel and introduce yourself there instead of in the “General” channel.
A list of Mathesar related chat rooms is below. You’ll need to individually join whichever chat rooms interest you. Click the link under “Address” to join the room, follow the same instructions as above.
You may also want to join our Matrix Space to keep Mathesar related chats organized. If you don’t know what a Matrix Space is, here’s an overview.
