Telegram is huge popular in Brazil. Our KDE Brasil group has now 608 <br>
members, and we have other KDE developers groups in Telegram related to <br>
Brazilian community.<br>
<br>
Maybe if we have a deadline, we can make efforts to migrate the groups <br>
to Matrix. But, if we can not do that properly, we can take a look at <br>
other bots like telegram:<a href="http://t2bot.io" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">t2bot.io</a> [1]<br>
