Channels

Last updated: 2026-03-26 see T:Lastupdated

Communications channels Noisebridgers use to stay in touch. We primarily use Discuss forums for public discussions, Zulip for open invite, used for technical and social infrastructure discussions, Jitsi for live-streamed meetings, Pad for meeting notes, Meetup for event listings, and Discord for general open chat voice/video hangouts.

Communications channels for staying in touch

• Discord - Open chat, anyone is welcome to join. Get into contact with us! https://discord.gg/GtpDdX5
• Zulip - Open for self-enrollment, currently used mainly for infrastructure & social discussions
• Jitsi - Live-streamed video channel used for meetings. https://meet.jit.si/noisebridge
• Pad - Pad.riseup.net is used for collaborative note-taking during meetings. https://pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting
• Wiki - Not a real-time comms tool but the Wiki is how we convey info long term and most things we build are documented as wiki pages which we link to in messages.
• Meetup - We maintain a listing of events like classes on Meetup.

Legacy Channels

• Slack - A smaller chat group that is invite only
• Discuss - An open, public forum. https://discuss.noisebridge.info (not active at this time)
