Matthew, anything blocking the bridging on our side?
Nothing blocking at all; it's all on our side, which has ended up

releases for FOSDEM and are currently all on trains to Brussels. It's

Hi all,
We've finally set up a bridge hosted by matrix.org that links GIMPNet into Matrix (as per the earlier bits of this thread). Sorry that it took so long to happen: FOSDEM ended up being even crazier than we expected, and we've spent the last month handling the traffic increases and operational excitements that came off the back of it.
The bridge has been set up to provide access to all of GIMPNet through matrix room aliases of form:
The easiest way to use the new bridge is probably through Riot, the current flagship Matrix client: URLs for direct access to a room via riot-web are of the form:
