NLP Matrix communication server

All members of NLP Centre have access to https://nlp.fi.muni.cz/matrix, a matrix.org Synapse server. Just use your faculty login and password to log in.

The server may be accessed via a number of clients with the easiest being direct web access at https://nlp.fi.muni.cz/matrix where we have the Element web client installed. On a mobile phone, you may use its Android or iOS versions.

The matrix.org clients are similar in nature do Discord or Slack, so its functionality should be well-known.

What can you do

What you can do at https://nlp.fi.muni.cz/matrix:

  • chat, ask, inform, discuss, give polls, ... with other NLP lab members
  • test implementing new functionalities, e.g. Matrix integrations, bots, or web modules.

Rooms

By default, all users are members of the nlp-all and random rooms. But you can create rooms of your own, public and private, on any topic, organized in spaces.

The room language is unrestricted - anyone volunteering to implement a Translate message functionality?

Messages

All messages (especially in the Element web client) use CommonMark Markdown formatting (https://spec.commonmark.org/current/ full specification) which is very useful for sharing structured information.

And remember - to write a newline in your message, use Shift+Enter 🤓

What is a 'device'?

For historical reasons, 'device' in Matrix does not mean your phone or your laptop - you actually create a new 'device' each time you log in on Matrix (and destroy it again when you log out).

Encryption off

When testing the server, we have come to cumbersome problems with properly handling encryption setups in Matrix (see e.g. this article or this explanation) leading to inaccessible messages. To not bother with such problems, we have turned off the encryption in NLP Matrix rooms.
