−	If you already have a Matrix room which is not accessible with an :osgeo.org address, you can make it so by adding other 'Addresses' ('Aliases') of the room.

 === Bridging Matrix rooms with Telegram ===
 The instructions here: https://t2bot.io/telegram/ show how to bridge a Telegram channel with a Matrix room. This allows people using Matrix clients to join Telegram conversations, and vice-versa.
