Matrix is an open standard for decentralized secure communications. Matrix’s mission is to make messaging as open as email. For those who do not know us, data sovereignty and end-to-end encryption seem to be really potent differentiators especially for governments and civic institutions. The French government has a massive Matrix deployment under the name "Tchap", and the German military began rolling out a similar initiative called "BwMessenger" in November. On the opposite end of the spectrum you've got Mozilla, who replaced their IRC network with open, federated Matrix and saw greater far greater community engagement as a result. Now is an excellent time to join the team as we try to make a genuine challenge to centralized, walled garden messaging technology.
