It's time for the Matrix

[Vitaly Zaitsev]

Hello all!

Due to the recent changes[1] in Freenode IRC network, I think it's time 
to speed-up switching all the Fedora official channels to the Matrix 
network.

It's already moving as fast as it can, per Matthew:

IRC isn't going to go away in a day/week/month.

We don't even have our own homeserver setup yet for matrix.

So, I think we are just going to have to move the irc side, bridge to
matrix and slowly encourage people to move over. It's going to be years
at least before we could look and see if IRC isn't worth bridging
anymore. IMHO.

As long as they have an IRC bridge, cool. Otherwise I am fine with
IRC, I have to be there for other reasons anyway, and don't want to
mess with yet another chat client.
