What will happen in your session?

Matrix is an open standard for communication over the Internet. I will talk about the matrix standard, both the technical implementation and the reasons for its creation. We will focus on the changes and progress that has been made in the previous year, particularly getting the specification out of beta, and the growth of the ecosystem. Finally, the Matrix environment continues to develop, and we'll look at the roadmap for the future.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

To inspire attendees about the importance of decentralisation and the role federation can play in this. Hopefully, to persuade some people to want to attend a workshop (also submitted), where we can take a closer look at the Client-Server interface of the Matrix protocol.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

A projector would be needed as there are diagrams and such which will benefit from being viewed large.
