Want all the gory details of how we hosted the world's largest free/open source conference #FOSDEM21 via Matrix? We just posted the full writeup at https://matrix.org/blog/2021/02/15/how-we-hosted-fosdem-2021-on-matrix. Huge thanks to @FOSDEM@twitter.com for putting their faith in Matrix & to everyone who helped make it a success! 🎉❄️🎆

This Week in Matrix is available now! All kinds of news, all related to a certain #decentralised communication platform called #Matrix! Plus watch Matrix Live for a demonstration of P2P Matrix over Bluetooth Low Energy! https://matrix.org/blog/2021/02/12/this-week-in-matrix-2021-02-12 #twim

Here are some vital stats from the http://fosdem.org Matrix server from Day 2 of @FOSDEM@twitter.com, fresh from Grafana...

Google is a "cornerstone sponsor" of FOSDEM this year, which is being run entirely on Matrix, accessible on Android via Element, which has just been pulled from Google's Play Store. FOSDEM is in a week. This all makes perfect sense.

Activity on the http://matrix.org homeserver has been up 5x over the last few days, and we started to get dangerously close to the ceiling on the Synapse master process again... so we just fixed it with more workers (as per https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11/03/how-we-fixed-synapses-scalability)!

Happy New 2021 Year! ^____^

Thanks to the climate crisis there's no snow in December. But thick fog created cool, glittery light at noon that looked almost seasonal. #photography #landscapephotography #mastoart
