#MatrixConf closing session starts in 30 mins! What's next for Matrix? What's news? Where will we meet next? Find out here: conference.matrix.org/watch/sofya/ In the meantime, there's many great talks we haven't posted about. But they *have* been uploaded: conference.matrix.org/schedule/#fu...

What's the world's most versatile tool? Arguably a wrench, and Matrix Wrench aims to be equally useful for managers of rooms and spaces on Matrix. Christian Paul tells us about it at #MatrixConf: cfp.2026.matrix.org/matrix-confe...

“Surely no one would share classified information over a third party app” says Gideon Bleumink (haha), but how do you get a new chat project off the ground? Learn from the #Dutch experience @MatrixConf. cfp.2026.matrix.org/matrix-confe...

"Sovereignty is only real if it's sustainable," and that means financing open source all the way to the bottom of the #iceberg, says @amandine.bsky.social. Maintainers, UI/UX designers, compliance/certification officers need salaries. How to ensure funding? #MatrixConf matrix.org/blog/2026/10...

Earlier at the #MatrixConf, @andybalaam.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy talks #encryption on Matrix, Jade updates us on #Continuwuity, #Austria's #healthcare market adopts Matrix, and much more! Recordings of any talks you missed can be found here: conference.matrix.org/schedule/#fu...

Just in time for #halloween — an IT #horror story. Health workers default to WhatsApp for professional tasks, whatever policies are. Why? It’s easy, it’s where the people are, it works. But it risks patient data and non-compliance with privacy laws. Follow along: conference.matrix.org/watch

Scenes from the #MatrixConf: great talks, interesting conversation, and the occasional #Blåhaj. #Föderation @mtrnord@gts.mtrnord.blog @HarHarLinks@chaos.social @andypiper.me @amandine.bsky.social

Why does #sovereignty matter? Without it, you risk service cut-off, #espionage, and exposure to foreign law. Diego Serpa and Jose Macedo discuss building MSG Gov, a comms app built for #Brazil and powered by #Matrix, at the #MatrixConf. Follow here: conference.matrix.org/watch

What does the Greek Tragedy of Antigone teach us about #healthcare communication, Richard Schlögl asks? It's a conflict that comes from opposing principles, principles like: health data must be private -- but case studies must be traceable. Can #Matrix be the deus ex machina? #MatrixConf

Great talks this morning: updates from the Matrix Governing Board and the Working Groups, and updates on unifying Matrix and @IETF #encryption standard #MLS with Famedly and BWI GmbH #openstandards. After coffee we're back with encryption, public sector messaging, and #healthcare. #MatrixConf

An open standard needs a neutral steward. And while Matrix is #free to use, it isn't free to run. If just 80% of the public sector orgs that rely on #Matrix became members, it would guarantee the Foundation's independence. Love Matrix? Consider becoming a member today: matrix.org/foundation/m...

Good morning! Day 2 of the #MatrixConf is about to begin in #Malmö! At 10am CET we have an important update from the Foundation. Joining us from a distance? Go here to listen and participate: app.element.io/#/room/#sofya-mc26:matrix.org

"We cannot afford to depend on others for the technologies that keep our hospitals running," said Ursula van der Leyen on 3 June, explaining the new EU #TechSovereignty package. Regulated industries should use #Matrix to protect patients and practitioners from data risk. #MatrixConf

Earlier, we heard from the developer of Fluffy Chat, aiming to bring the "decentralisation dream" to individuals, too: fluffychat.im @doitsunokoitsu.bsky.social #MatrixConf #Malmö 20-23 October

#Sovereign does not mean alone. In a live demo, the Swedish, French, European Commission and Nato deployments of Matrix have a chat -- different homeservers, same #Matrix protocol. At the #MatrixConf 20-23 Oct in Malmö.

Reminder! Even if you are not in Malmö, you can still join the #MatrixConf online, See the schedule, stream live, ask questions, and chat with others. Here's a link to the three rooms: app.element.io#/room/#sofya... app.element.io#/room/#kathe... app.element.io#/room/#peter... #MatrixConf

What's the #business case for choosing Matrix? A political reality whose message is getting louder and louder: We need to take back control of our communications and our data. #MatrixConf

Why do #governments choose Matrix? It's #adaptable, #interoperable, and vendor agnostic, says Sweden. It's #sovereign and #E2EE, says Luxembourg. Its #flexibility means it can be designed for specific #government-to-citizen (G2C) comms says Germany. The #federation allowed France to scale messaging.

Here's everybody! Group photo at the #MatrixConf in #Malmö. Now up: lightning talks on #advocacy and #moderation. And then break-out rooms on the #publicsector experience, custom profiles, timelines, and safety! Follow the fun at conference.matrix.org/watch

"Matrix has gone from being an interesting experiment to an existential requirement," says Mathew Hodgson at the #MatrixConf keynote. "It has never been more important for us to control our communications." Matrix's #members make this work possible: matrix.org/foundation/m...
