Ubuntu project since March 1 will start matrix as an official platform for communication between developers. The communication channels used in IRC are still converted into the category of obsolete. In the voting of developers working in Canonical, 10 participants spoke out for the transition to Matrix, 1 against, and 6 asked for a public discussion. The discussion about the feasibility of migration on Matrix was carried out in the list of ubuntu-deel, after the Technical Committee (Ubuntu Technical Board) made a decision on migration.
Official communication, for example, real-time requests to privileged Ubuntu developers, will now be produced only through Matrix. Canonical employees involved in the development of Ubuntu will be required to attend this platform during their working time. The IRC channel “#Ubuntu-Devel” will come to the Matrix-room”#devel:ubuntu.com“, and the “#ubuntu-rease” is “#release:ubuntu.com.
