+++ title = "Chat with us!" +++ [Who we are](https://md.roflcopter.fr/libregaming). (WiP) # Chat with us! We try our best to let people use their favorite chat client to join us. Currently, we use native [Matrix] rooms which are also accessible via [Jabber/XMPP] and [IRC]. For pre-existing projects, their official chatrooms are bridged where possible, even if they're on the non-libre [Discord] platform. New projects should take advantage of [FreeGameDev]'s cross-platform integration.
