About us. (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.

Official chatrooms

  • general: chat about libre games, their development and philosophy matrix xmpp irc archive
  • matchmaking: matchmaking service/bot to find people to play with matrix xmpp irc archive
  • offtopic: for discussions with Libre Gaming folks about everything except libregaming matrix xmpp irc archive
  • organization: meta channel for discussing the LibreGaming.org project itself matrix xmpp irc archive
  • workshop: for bursts of high-volume organisational activity, when a topic gets too long for the main channel matrix xmpp irc archive
