MATE Desktop discussion forums are closing

It is with regret that we are informing you all that the MATE Desktop forums are closing with immediate effect.

For sometime now the forum moderators have struggled to keep up with the pace of discussion, combatting spam and new registrations. The original forum administrators are no longer actively participating in the MATE Desktop forums either. It is therefore unfortunate that we have decided to close the MATE Desktop forums and we encourage anyone seeking MATE support to head to one of the following distribution specific forums:

MATE Desktop also has official threads in various distribution forums:

MATE Desktop discussion can also be found on Twitter.

We'd like to thank the MATE Desktop forum moderators, past and present, for all the time and effort they've invested into the forums over the years and hope to see them find moderator roles in some of the discussion forums we've highlighted above.

Should anyone want to take on the administration and moderation of the MATE Desktop forums then please come and chat with the MATE Desktop team in the #mate-dev IRC and Matrix channel on Libera Chat. We can potentially reactivate the forums.

MATE interview with Linux Luddites

Linux Luddites were kind enough to interview me last week. We discussed the origins of MATE Desktop, it's future direction, how Ubuntu MATE came to be and where it is headed.

Linux Luddites Episode #26 was published earlier today and I suggest you head over to the Linux Luddites website and give it a listen.

If you've not listened to the Linux Luddites before then you should checkout their back catalog. It has been one of my favourite FLOSS podcasts for some months now that blends good discussion and insight with useful distro reviews and first impressions.
