[$] The road to mainstream Matrix

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 15:27:13 +0000

Description:
Matrix provides an open network for secure, decentralized communication. It
has enjoyed some success over the last few years as an IRC replacement
and real-time chat for a number of open-source projects. But adoption
by a subset of open-source developers is a far cry from the mainstream
adoption that Matthew Hodgson, Matrix project lead and CEO of Element (the 
company that created
Matrix), would like to see. At FOSDEM2025, he discussed the
history of Matrix, its missteps in chasing mainstream adoption, its
current status, as well as some of the wishlist features for taking
Matrix into the mainstream.
