Chat Service at Eclipse Foundation

Welcome to the chat service from the Eclipse Foundation! We provide a platform in a federated way for our community to collaborate, connect and build together. Our chat service is built on top of the Matrix logo protocol, an open standard for secure, decentralized communication based on opensource projects synapse and element-web.

This service enables you to:

  1. Join and participate in public channels like one of the hundreds of Eclipse project rooms and spaces such as:
  2. Eclipse IDE,
  3. Oniro,
  4. Tractus-X

  5. and many more...,

  6. Contact Eclipse community members and Eclipse Foundation staff directly.

We believe that communication is a cornerstone of successful open-source development, and we're thrilled to offer this new chat service as a resource to our community. Whether you're an individual contributor or part of a large project team, we hope you'll find the Eclipse chat service a valuable tool for collaborating and building great software.

One of the best things about the Eclipse chat service is that you can use your existing Matrix account to participate. That means you don't have to create a separate account just for Eclipse chat – you can use the same account you use for other Matrix services. This makes it easy to stay connected with your existing communities while also participating in the Eclipse ecosystem.

You can access the chat service using a default web client, which is easy to use and requires no additional software. Alternatively, if you prefer to use a different client, you can connect to our service using any Matrix-compatible client, such as element-web (web/desktop/mobile client), neochat, ...

To get started, simply visit our chat landing page, sign in or sign up with/for an Eclipse account or check our documentation Getting Started.
