It's 2025 and we finally have a matrix server:

matrix.ndlug.org

We are also hosting element:

element.ndlug.org

Public registrations are closed for now, but you can reach out to @pnutzh4x0r if you wish to get an account.

Our normal IRC channel on chat.ndlug.org is now plumbed to the :matrix.ndlug.org room via HeisenBridge.

Feel free to join either the IRC channel or Matrix room to test things out.

Consider this experimental as we see how well this works.

@ndlug @pnutzh4x0r Does your server federate? We limit federation but are open to connecting to other LUGs

@novalug @pnutzh4x0r Yes, our mastodon and matrix servers both federate... though the matrix server seems a bit wonky and sometimes struggles will connecting to new servers.

We are a curious, informal, and friendly mix of IT professionals, hobbyists, students, and others with an interest in Linux, Free and Open Source software, and open knowledge. The Northern Virginia Linux Users Group (NoVaLUG) is the oldest LUG in the Northern VA area and likely in the whole of US, established in 1993.
