Matrix How-To

2026-08-01T14:34:37Z

Maltman23:

== How to join chat ==
[[File:Corebot image.png|thumb|right]]

You can join using any Matrix account. If you need to set up a client and create an account, check below! Once you're signed up and signed in, just send the token you were emailed (HOPE26::ABCD...) to '''@corebot:hope.net''' to get access to the HOPE 26 space. If you have multiple tokens (for example, as both an attendee and a presenter), send each in its own message.

The bot will validate your token and send you an invite, which you can find in the Spaces section of the app (left bar on web/desktop, squares-and-circle icon at bottom right on mobile). Once you've accepted the invite you can explore the rooms in the space, like Announcements, Jobs & Gigs, Info Desk, and the chats for each scheduled talk.

For help check the troubleshooting section below or [[Conference_bot|CoreBot help]].

== Using the Web Client ==

Visit https://element.hope.net/ to create an account ([[Matrix_How-To#How_to_create_your_HOPE_Matrix_account_on_the_web_.28slideshow.29|walkthrough]]).
Send the [[Conference_bot|bot]] (@corebot:hope.net) a direct message with the ticket code you were sent. [[Conference_bot|More information]]

== Using Desktop and Mobile Matrix Clients ==

We recommend [https://element.io/download Element]. It supports iOS, Android, and desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux).

If you are using the HOPE homeserver, you will need to set your client to talk to <code>hope.net</code>:

[[File:Element login screen emphasizing homeserver edit button.png|frameless|Screenshot of the Element Android login page with a red arrow pointing towards the Edit button at the top right]]
[[File:Element homeserver selection screen showing hope.net.png|frameless|Screenshot of the Element Android homeserver entry screen with red arrows pointing out the Server URL of hope.net and the Next button]]

Once you are signed in to your account, send the HOPE bot (@corebot:hope.net) a direct message with the ticket code. [[Conference_bot|More information]]

== Troubleshooting ==

* '''The desktop client isn't working''' Wait a few minutes and try again. Make sure you're using the correct homeserver (see above)! If it's still not working, try the web client.
* '''I'm missing a rooms''' or '''I can't join a rooms''' Have you sent your HOPE26::ABCD... token to the bot? Have you accepted the invite to the HOPE 26 space? You should be able to
* '''I'm on desktop or web, and can't see any rooms''' Click the HOPE 26 space twice, or right click -> explore rooms, and you should see the Talks space and general rooms.
* '''I'm on mobile, and can't see any rooms''' At the bottom right is a button with three squares and a circle. Tap that, tap "HOPE 26", tap "HOPE 26" at the top of your screen, tap "Explore rooms", and from there you can join the Talks space and general rooms.
* '''I sent my token to the bot, but it didn't respond''' Make sure you're sending it in a PM. You may need to leave the PM with the bot and create a new one. You may need to disable the "Never send encrypted messages to unverified sessions" setting. If all else fails, try again later, or see below.
* '''I'm having another issue!''' If you've gotten connected to Matrix, try the Tech Support room. If you can't get to that room, PM @mal:hope.net. If you can't connect at all, and googling hasn't helped, [helpdesk email tbd]

2026-07-31T09:18:02Z

Maltman23:

= Plicykling. Make the world a better place workshop =

== Abstract ==

Plicykling is the art of picking up litter while riding a bicycle without stopping or slowing down. Learn how to get started and get out there to make the world a better place while you get somewhere by bicycle! Plicykling is a hack! In what can only be described as an industrial strength weaponized fake corporate culture of control with an absolute emphasis on selfishness, plicykling is also effectively a random act of kindness machine, and if the deed is witnessed, it pokes holes in these bubbles we all seem to have encased ourselves in. It helps our inner lights shines a little brighter, which is something we all need right now. Please meet Craig in the lobby of the New Yorker Hotel. You will need a bicycle - you can rent a Citibike across the street from the hotel on either 33rd or 35th Street for a low fee. Participants must agree to wear a helmet, follow all traffic laws, and abstain from any alcohol or drug use before or during this workshop.

The Accountability Toolkit 26 Workshop

2026-07-30T19:06:27Z

Maltman23:

= The Accountability Toolkit: OCCRP & MuckRock workshop =

== Abstract ==

In a world increasingly shaped by secrecy, corruption, and misinformation, truth requires infrastructure. Built entirely for the public interest, both the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and MuckRock provide vital, public-good resources designed to help investigators uncover what powerful actors want to keep hidden. This two-hour, hands-on workshop brings together two essential tools for transparency: OCCRP Aleph Pro and MuckRock’s DocumentCloud. Aleph Pro is a massive investigative data platform holding more than four billion documents - ranging from corporate registries to leaked datasets - designed to help users follow the money and map complex networks. DocumentCloud is a public platform with over seven million primary source documents, allowing anyone to search, analyze, and organize materials through either the user interface or the API, serving as a trusted resource for public records and research on public figures, government activities, corporate practices, and other matters of public interest. You will be walked through real-life examples of how these platforms are used in high-stakes investigations, and learn about the global impact they ’ve generated and how new users can get started. Whether your goal is to make sense of chaotic leaked data, navigate massive FOIA dumps, or map hidden assets, this workshop gives you the tools and hands-on experience to do it. What will you uncover?

Maltman23:

= Soldering 101 workshop =

== Abstract ==

Soldering is a hardware skill that all hackers should learn in order to bring their digital projects into the physical world. From modifying badge hardware at conferences to building custom projects, modifying your devices, and repairing your own gear, soldering transforms you from someone who just uses technology into someone who can physically reshape it.

Re-imagining Digital Security Training 26 Workshop

2026-07-30T18:52:57Z

Maltman23:

= Re-imagining Digital Security Training workshop =

== Abstract ==

Too many digital security trainings fail to create lasting change, not because the content lacks value, but because of how they’ re delivered. This participatory session re-imagines digital security education for community groups and activists by drawing on collective practitioner knowledge, critical pedagogy, neuroscience research on learning and retention, and cross-disciplinary teaching experience. This workshop will examine why participants often leave trainings overwhelmed, disconnected, or unable to apply what they’ ve learned, and explore alternative approaches that reduce cognitive overload, foster connection to content, and encourage critical thinking rather than compliance. Attendees will contribute to a shared analysis of what’s broken in current training models and leave with practical frameworks for designing more effective, engaging, and empowering security trainings. Trainers and facilitators of all experience levels are welcome.
