At FOSDEM we could showcase our work, drown in enthusiasm, gather in smaller committee to discuss what works or what should work differently.
Here's our wrap up post, and if you couldn't make it to Brussels you can still catch up with the talks in the thread below

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation • • •📹 Getting the Rust SDK running on Wasm
The Rust programming language is often hailed as a perfect companion to Wasm, leading many to wonder: why aren’t matrix clients like Element Web fully leveraging the Rust SDK? Why does the JavaScript SDK remain the optimal choice for building Matrix-based webapps?

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation • • •📹 Demystifying Federation in Matrix
Step into the TARDIS as we go on a deep-dive to explain how federation in Matrix works. We'll cover the protocol, its robustness qualities and how it relates to CRDTs, all whilst operating safely in Byzantine environments far larger than consensus-based blockchains.
To aid in our journey, interactive visualisations backed by real homeservers are used to explain core concepts via TARDIS and other tooling.

#Google is making it increasingly difficult to view their videos in ways that don't make you choke on their surveillance, ads and cookies. I will *never* load a video directly from YouTube, and I know I'm not the only one.
Please consider posting them on #PeerTube and sync that to YT for the people who still don't understand how evil Google is.

in reply to Woefdram • • •@hans Thanks, we look forward to posting primarily on a PeerTube instance as it is very much in line with our values.
We're deeply constrained in terms of resources right now so are making due as best we can, but have every intention of deprioritizing centralized systems and big tech up and down our stack.
