You know it, bridges are one of the strengths of Matrix. Half-Shot the bridgesman is going to cover what we can improve to make integrations feel more native.

An opening keynote by Matthew Hodgson in which he gives an overview of the Matrix ecosystem, the exciting changes coming to the protocol, and where the Foundation's focus is going to be.

This week my guests are the FluffyChat and MinesTRIX maintainers, following the v1 release of the simple and beautiful FluffyChat… and they want to work together!

This week a much less technical episode since we're discussing how The Coalition led by Matrix.org Foundation co-founder Amandine is lobbying at the EU level for more interoperability. Featuring a double bridge demo to make Slack and Telegram talk to each other nicely.

This week after an introduction to End to Bridges Encryption by Travis, Half-Shot is telling us about how it works in practice, how he's progressively oxidising them, and demoes the freshly renamed hookshot (GitHub, GitLab, Jira and more) bridge, and is talking about that project he can't talk about.

A very very dense and exciting wrap up of what's happening these days in the Matrix space by Matrix Foundation co-founders Matthew & Amandine! Matrix is stepping up a gear with blazing fast Sync v3, Threading Support, VoIP, VR, a new release of the Spec, always more monthly active users, a full security audit and progress on P2P.
