Thanks for the info!

So non FreeBSD developers like me, who don't have *@freebsd.org account, need to look for a homeserver to register first, then.

What problem does this support channel solve?
It seems to me we are becoming fractured with all the pogey bait at the geedunk..

That's IRC.

… look for a homeserver to register …

True.

Use of matrix.org as a homeserver is probably best-known, but highly discouraged:

• <https://joinmatrix.org/guide/#set-up-your-own-homeserver-or-join-an-existing-homeserver>

I joined years ago, before the more modern encouragement.

What problem does this … solve? …

Project communication.

<https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2023-04-2023-06/#_matrix_im_solution>

From the status report:

… The Core Team is … collecting feedback from the community.

Whilst correcting the draft, I aimed to communicate an address — an essential part of simplify test instance onboarding (for feedback purposes):

status: 2023q2: Core: various changes by grahamperrin · Pull Request #222 · freebsd/freebsd-doc

Uppercase T for 'The FreeBSD Foundation'. Board of Directors of the Foundation; not multiple boards. Expand 'DevSummit'. Matrix: simplify test instance onboarding. Demystify riscv64...

Here's the address for the lobby, which was excluded from the Core Team's report:

• <https://matrix.to/#/#lobby:matrix-dev.freebsd.org>

For clarity: the request for exclusion did not come from a member of the Team.
