Open source infrastructure *must* be a publicly funded service, and funders need to support maintenance – not just new feature development 📣

This is on our minds this week in the wake of the #xz news, and as we continue to seek funding to support #Matrix.

We are bowled over by your support! We're up to 162 Individual Members, 114 of which are new, and we've doubled the number of organizational members 🥳

This is encouraging, though we still have a long way to go to fill the gap in our budget.

If you believe in open source, open standards, privacy, and decentralization: this is your call to action.

Help us secure the future of Matrix by joining today: matrix.org/support/

#Matrix #OpenSource #OpenStandards #Privacy #Decentralization #FOSS


Matrix wouldn't be where it is today without the vibrant ecosystem of FOSS clients, bots, bridges, servers, SDKs, and more!

And it's the people who make it all possible.

Please join us in spreading the love on this #ILoveFreeSoftwareDay and give a shoutout to your favorite projects! 💞

We are positively overwhelmed with the outpouring of support 🚀

People are responding to our call for help! We've also had a number of smaller organizations show up and begin the process of becoming supporting members.

This is encouraging progress, though we still have a lot of work to do to hit our fundraising goals.

Join us in securing the future of open, private, decentralized communications with Matrix: matrix.org/blog/2024/01/2024-r…
