Community

If you have questions about anything regarding the Librem 5, we would really like to hear from you and there are a couple of recommended ways to contact us and join the fun. We have mailing lists for users and developers as well as Matrix chat rooms where volunteers hang out with people from the Purism team. These places are great locations to introduce yourself and ask questions.

Email Lists

Once you have a registered Matrix account, you should log into the default matrix.org server where you can search for our community Matrix rooms on our talk.puri.sm Matrix server.

Example: To find the community/librem-5 room, you should search for #community-librem-5:talk.puri.sm

If you have any issues finding our Matrix rooms, please email admins@puri.sm with your Matrix id and they will make sure you get invited to the rooms (although invitations are not necessary for access).

Once you have access to the Matrix channels, please say “Hi” and introduce yourself. Let us know who you are and what areas of development interest you the most so that we can guide you to the right resources for your development.
