One of the advantages of Matrix is that it's federated so you can have a room called #qt-labs:kde.org on KDE matrix server and in case someday Qt wants it's own server, it is perfectly possible to add a new alias #qt-labls:qt.io to the existing room and use it as main alias without having to move the existing users to a new room. Note that it would probably be a good idea to ask first to the KDE matrix admin before using KDE matrix infra :) Cheers, Carl Schwan https://carlschwan.eu KDE Developer _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
