 Nico Alt | Mathijs coffee Coffee: So I created an account for me on f-droid.org, joined this room, gave me admin privileges through my other account, added #fdroid-dev:f-droid.org as an address to this room, set it as the main address for this room, enabled that this room is published in f-droid.org's room directory and finally changed the topic to include links to f-droid.org. Was this all correct? If so, I would continue with #fdroid:matrix.org. | 19:04:47 |
 Marcus (old) | Nico Alt: sounds all good! | 19:11:42 |

 Coffee (F-Droid) | Nico Alt: Thanks, looking good! I wanted to do it this afternoon but some personal stuff came up. | 19:25:49 |
| Nico Alt | Thank you two for the confirmation. I just did the same with #fdroid:f-droid.org. | 19:25:52 |
| Nico Alt | coffee: No problem! | 19:25:58 |
| Nico Alt | I think I'll leave the rooms with my personal account now, but we should leave at least one admin with an account on another server. | 19:26:52 |
| Coffee (F-Droid) set a profile picture. | 19:30:01 |
| Coffee (F-Droid) changed their display name from coffee to Coffee (F-Droid). | 19:31:10 |
| ![@freenode_CoffeeF-Droid[m]:matrix.org](./avatar/CoffeeF-Droid%5Bm%5D) CoffeeF-Droid[m] joined the room. | 19:31:12 |
| Coffee (F-Droid) | I think I'll stick to my main account and use the f-droid one for "official" stuff for now. | 19:33:04 |
|  Nico left the room. | 19:35:00 |
|  NicoAlt joined the room. | 19:36:52 |
| Coffeechanged room power levels. | 19:38:23 |
| Nico Alt | I also created +fdroid:f-droid.org and am curious how we should use that. +fdroid:matrix.org is open for everyone and contains also the unoffical F-Droid room, but I think +fdroid:f-droid.org could be useful to give information about "officials", i.e. I so far only listed the two official rooms and would only add members confirmed to be contributors, similar to the forum. That way, people know at least a bit with who they are talking to.
What do you think about this approach? | 19:46:28 |
| Nico Alt | The description of it is so far:
This community contains a list of official F-Droid.org and F-Droid related matrix rooms. Members of this community are confirmed to be contributors.
| 19:46:45 |
| Nico Alt | Another question: In our discussion we talked about that only F-Droid related stuff should be done on f-droid.org. Someone said that room about riot-android is included in this. Following that, are #telegram-foss:matrix.org and #guardianproject:matrix.org are also F-Droid related and should be added to +fdroid:f-droid.org and attached :f-droid.org aliases? | 19:48:58 |
| Nico Alt | I think so, only curious about your opinions. | 19:49:13 |
| Nico Alt | We should come up with some policy on that. I.e., is the Librem 5 room also F-Droid related? F-Droid being about FLOSS on Android and Librem being about FLOSS on mobile? | 19:50:16 |

Well, there are two different things here. First we have our official f-droid rooms, and on the other hand we have "other" rooms that we might want to join using official f-droid accounts. The latter should not be part of the community. | 19:57:55 |
| Nico Alt | Coffee (F-Droid):

That's right. So we should come up with another community?
| 19:58:51 |
| Coffee (F-Droid) | I'm not sure why it needs a community. Oh, are you thinking of storing all the "allowed" rooms in a community so everybody knows what rooms are allowed? | 20:00:16 |
| Nico Alt | You mean as "allowed to be hosted on F-Droid.org"? That's a thing, but I thought about it like a list of everything related to F-Droid in the matrix universe, open for everybody to join. So more like the current community on matrix.org and less like +fdroid:f-droid.org. | 20:03:00 |
| Nico Alt | To keep a list of everything we know, for newcomers to quickly start. | 20:03:13 |
| Nico Alt | I'm not sure if it's the right word, but I would call it "a list of endorsed rooms". Not officialy by F-Droid.org, but interesting to join. | 20:04:04 |
| Coffee (F-Droid) | I am tending towards thinking the matrix.org group is fine for that. It's a shame you can't alias communities. | 20:06:32 |
| Nico Alt | Coffee (F-Droid): You're right, it would be an alias of that group, but since it isn't possible, I thought creating a new one on f-droid.org is a good idea. | 20:08:12 |
| Coffee (F-Droid) | What would be the added value of that, over having an name ending in :f-droid.org?
And does that outweigh the confusion of having two different groups for the same purpose? | 20:10:21 |
