# Talk: Migrating the WordPress Community from Slack to Matrix

October 26, 2023

At the [Matrix Community Summit 2023](https://summit2023.matrixmeetup.de/conference/)
that [took place in September 2023](https://summit2023.matrixmeetup.de/conference/schedule/#),
I gave a rather technical talk about our learnings regarding [Migrating the WordPress Community from Slack to Matrix](https://summit2023.matrixmeetup.de/conference/talk/MHJ8G9/).

The [WP Tavern](https://www.wptavern.com/) has been following our efforts and posted
several times about it:

 * [WordPress Project to Evaluate Replacing Slack with Matrix Open Source Chat](https://wptavern.com/wordpress-project-to-evaluate-replacing-slack-with-matrix-open-source-chat)
 * [WordPress Contributors Continue Exploring Migration of Public and Private Messages from Slack to Matrix](https://wptavern.com/wordpress-contributors-continue-exploring-migration-of-public-and-private-messages-from-slack-to-matrix)
 * [WordPress Launches Slack/Matrix Bridge](https://wptavern.com/wordpress-launches-slack-matrix-bridge)

We’ve also been holding, and continue to, [weekly meetings in the WordPress meta chat](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/chat/),
and [publish our meeting notes](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/tag/matrix/) afterwards.

I’ve embedded [my presentation](https://alex.kirk.at/matrix-summit-2023/) below.
You can find the [recording on Youtube with my talk starting at around 3h35m](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne6jiiMqdig&t=12986).

I hope we can soon announce to finalize the migration to Matrix, there is not a 
lot missing.
