If you're using a @matrix client, you can chat with me and others about #Fedigardens with the new room I launched!
The address is #fedigardens:one.ems.host.
For those in my Slack workspace, you don't need to do anything; it's already bridged automatically.
I really admire how @matrix continues to get better & am surprised that folks still insist on using a closed & corporate owned platform like Keybase...
Getting ready for IETF 116, conveniences in FluffyChat, a brand new integrations manager… that, and more happened this week in Matrix!

Governments and the public sector face specific challenges for their real time communications.

The end of Dendrite polylith (not the end of Dendrite!!), a major release for hookshot, and the rust sdk getting more features every day. That, and much more happened this week in Matrix!

The @EclipseFdn is trying out @matrix as a chat service: https://chat-staging.eclipse.org/docs/
Your chance to take a look, try it out, and provide some feedback!
The EU has created a unique opportunity for users of one of the most important and privacy sensitive online ecosystems to regain freedom of choice and sovereignty over their data.

We've finally published our full write-up of the all-day #DMA workshop on technical interoperability at the European Commission in Brussels. Come check out WhatsApp talking to Google Chat via Matrix while maintaining E2EE via client-side bridges, and more! https://matrix.org/blog/2023/03/15/the-dma-stakeholder-workshop-interoperability-between-messaging-services
If Meta is really working on a new ActivityPub-powered social network, I see it as a very positive signal overall--my personal feelings towards Meta notwithstanding. For one, it's validation for our entire ecosystem from the biggest player. It also tells me that they don't see themselves as strong enough to keep users locked inside their walled garden anymore. It means the tide is really turning for interoperable social media, and that's always been the goal.
Work on adding QR code authentication in the spec, a terminal Matrix client that uses vim keybindings (but we promise you can escape the Matrix), and improvement to the (community maintained) synapse admin cli… that and more happened this week in Matrix!

Congrats to #matrix co-founder @matthew for rocking the last #DMAWorkshop, there was still quite a bit of buzz about how the live bridging demo carried a ton of weight, despite the lobbying efforts from #Meta, you can see it at around 14:00 in the live stream recording https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/dma-workshop-2023-02-27
Spec work to improve notifications in Matrix, client-side bridging to prove that interoperability is a choice and even a demo of it in Matrix Live… that, and much more happened this week in Matrix!

If you're interested in talking or collaborating with contributors to the Fedora Project, this is how you can join the conversation!
We have @matrix channels bridged to IRC for real time chat. We have the Fedora Discussion forum for long form conversations.
Both can be accessed with a Fedora account you can create, but Matrix is also available from other accounts since it is federated.

Come on over! https://fedoramagazine.org/join-the-conversation/
Lots of fun in Brussels today exploring the technical aspects of interoperability in the DMA at the @EU_Commission with @matthew, Cisco, @mozilla, @FAU and Meta. https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/dma/dma-workshops/interoperability-workshop_en and https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/dma-workshop-2023-02-27
An open standard for decentralised persistent communication. Crossposts from the birdsite 'cos bridges rock. We monitor the mastodon side too though.
