I will also post here so that everyone can see it: ‼️ Important ‼️ Efabless has shutdown operation due to funding challenges: https://efabless.com/notice Given the current circumstances and uncertainties, we (a group of individuals) have decided to set up a new communication platform called FOSSi Chat. FOSSi Chat uses Matrix, an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications that is already the platform of choice for a large number of open source communities. We are currently in the process of reaching out to the FOSSi Foundation to take ownership of FOSSi Chat. Let's make sure the community as a whole finds a new place, please join FOSSi Chat: fossi-chat.org
FYI: Outgoing emails are down again. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you would like me to set up your account manually, just pm me your: - preferred nickname (lower case, no spaces) - display name - email

Slack is independent of efabless or skywater. We could still continue here.

The Slack space will change to the free tier in about a month. This means that no history older than 90 days will be saved - a lot of important information would be lost if we continue here. Slack is a proprietary platform and the company behind it is profit-orientated. I'd argue that it was never a good decision to host the open source silicon space here. Most of the active community has already moved over, I'd appreciate if we could move as a whole community.

I am stuck in the registration process. I got an email but the activation link ( ttp://url9602.fossi-chat.org/ls/click?upn=u001.oIIk ...) does not resolve
it is a bit painful to join , perhaps it is an idea to offer more registration options (github auth?)

fwiw you can register on any matrix server, e.g. matrix.org, see https://servers.joinmatrix.org

I actually already have a matrix account, I guess I "just" need to know the channel name?

There was a problem with the emails, which should be fixed since yesterday. You can also join any of the rooms from another matrix account, for example #C0221Q4PYJ0:fossi-chat.org and #C016G7Z8GDR:fossi-chat.org

Nice, using matrix registration work(ed)
