# Matrix
We offer a Matrix homeserver for Arch team members. Matrix is a federated communication service with
a variety of available clients for multiple platforms, mobile included. The flagship
[
Element
clients
](
https://element.io/
)
offer us file upload, end-to-end encryption, push notifications and
integrations with third-party services.
## Signing in
For the initial sign-in you need to use a client that supports OpenID Single-Sign-On, such as
[
Element
Web
](
https://app.element.io/
)
. Enter
`@username:archlinux.org`
as the username and Element should
offer to sign into our homeserver.
You will be automatically invited to several rooms:
-
`#archlinux:archlinux.org`
: A public room for Arch Linux users.
-
`#staff:archlinux.org`
: Bridged with the
`#archlinux-staff`
IRC channel on Freenode.
-
`#internal:archlinux.org`
: A staff-only room with end-to-end encryption.
After signing in you can use Element's settings to set a password for the account if you want to use
a client that does not support SSO.
If you need to provide your client with a homeserver address, use
`https://matrix.archlinux.org`
.
## IRC bridges
### Our bridge
We bridge several of our private IRC channels on Freenode to Matrix, which you need to be invited
into:
-
`#developers:archlinux.org`
: Bridged with
`#archlinux-dev`
.
-
`#trusted-users:archlinux.org`
: Bridged with
`#archlinux-tu`
.
-
`#staff:archlinux.org`
: Bridged with
`#archlinux-staff`
.
### Matrix.org bridge
Channels without keys are available via the "official" Freenode bridge at Matrix.org. For example:
-
`#freenode_#archlinux-devops:matrix.org`
: Bridged with
`#archlinux-devops`
.
-
`#freenode_#archlinux-projects:matrix.org`
: Bridged with
`#archlinux-projects`
.
**
Please avoid joining large bridged rooms (such as
`#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org`
), as these
slow down the server immensely.
**
Freenode may require you to have a registered nick to join certain channels. Once
`@appservice-irc:matrix.org`
contacts you, tell it to
`!storepass <username>:<password>`
with the
username and the password of your Freenode account and it will reconnect you as registered.
