Since then we have merged the project with acter.global, a non-profit organizing platform and are building the next generation of the product line (Acter3) on the previous effektio platform. This Talk will give an overview where we stand, what the product can do (by now) and what our plans are for the immediate future.

Spoiler: hopefully we can announce Matrix 2.0! This talk would give an overview of all the work that the Matrix core team has been focused since the 2022 Community Summit. Specifically, this will focus on all the latest progress on: * Sliding Sync (and its implementations in matrix-rust-sdk) * MatrixRTC and LiveKit * OIDC ...and the culmination of all of the above in the form of Matrix 2.0, as showcased by Element in the form of Element X.

Here we try to implement it ourselves from scratch to get an understanding how encryption works on Matrix and how we can fix problems, when we experience them. Depending on how far I get with my preparations, you will just need a browser and a keyboard as well as some basic understanding of what a HTTP request is, what JSON looks like and we'll try to see if we can write some code with that.

But to empower a vision where matrix truly can be used to develop any real time experience by developing a client and leveraging it on the matrix server infrastructure. Therefore matrix needs a standardized signaling system for establishing realtime (web rtc) connections between all participants and allow to exchange media and data streams. In this talk I will present the jurney of building element call as a matriRTC application and present the findings we made to make this a stable extensible and secure infrastructure that leverages all the amazing features of matrix. We will show a real time call and conferencing application with per sender key end to end encryption and making leveraging the matrix account verifiaction to guarantee the authenticity of participants. Which makes it one of the most secure digital realtime communication method. We will also explore for what else this infrastructure can be used and give an overview on how to build your own realtime application based on matrix.

The node concept enables the user to create complex conversation flows in a very simple way with almost no coding skills. Menuflow supports all [matrix] events (m.text, m.notice, m.image, etc.), additionally provides extra nodes with special behavior such us HTTP requests, input validation, date and time validation and email sending, giving the possibility of integrations with external applications in a very versatile way.

A team of supporters looks through the public support forum and responds to the questions. To make their work easier, a new Matrix bot copies new questions into a Matrix room. This allows support staff to get notifications and discuss replies in Matrix threads.

The Deutsche Post offers a service called Briefankündigung. They scan each letter in their sorting facilities and deliver you a picture of the envelope by email automatically. That service requires to have a mail account with web.de or gmx.de. This email can be parsed and sent as a Matrix message to a room.

I show you my 6 years worth of collecting scripts, Maubot configs, and stranger things - not to mention my own projects - and look forward to learning what you are doing as well! Please bring your devices etc so you can show off your creations! I started to host Matrix to own the chat rooms with my friends with modern UX and features while also getting nice tech with e2ee and hackability through being an open protocol etc. At first, the chat experience was enhanced using bots providing useful services, quickly followed by shitposting bots and similar fun stuff. From there, I expanded my personal setup with utilities such as [reminder bot](https://cfp.summit2022.matrixmeetup.de/matrix-summit-conference-2022/talk/WTWWZ8/). As I started hosting more and more services for myself and my community, a need for notifications about things arose. Join me for a ride across all kinds of Matrix-based utilities and fun things, from [reactbot](https://github.com/maubot/reactbot) to server update notifications, from weather forecasts to instagram-as-rooms, from GitHub bridging to custom stickers. Whether you want to present or get started, this is the workshop to be - bring your own devices! https://matrix.to/#/#pimpyourchat-mcs23:matrix.org /media/conference/submissions/DUK9YE/Pimp_My_Matrix_p9J8QVI.png Kim Brose / HarHarLinks 2023-09-22T17:00:00+02:00 17:00 00:30 Backstage conference-24-scalability-is-a-nice-problem-to-have-successes-and-challenges-in-the-ansible-matrix-space https://summit2023.matrixmeetup.de/conference/talk/TP7ZCW/ false Community Management & Moderation Talk en In this talk, we'll look at where the Ansible Community has got to in the last 2 years of daily Matrix use, and what still remains to be solved. There will be open questions to the audience about how to approach some of these challenges. As the saying goes, "scalability is a nice problem to have". At the time of writing, the Ansible Community has 40+ Matrix rooms and hundreds of regular users - so clearly, we have it all sorted, right? Not so. In this talk, we'll take a brief look at how we got to where we are, but we'll focus more on what challenges we face at this point, and then open it up to the room to discuss ways to approach them. We'll likely take in moderation, bridges, bots, discoverability & spaces, and so on.

Now, we have set up our own Matrix server and bridged channels from Discord to Matrix. Why it's set up this way, what was holding the org back, why the decision and setup took so long, what are issues and lessons learned and what it takes to convince an org to move their comms to Matrix - I will do my best to share insights! In my free time I am core contributor of the Department of Decentralization, which runs events like ETHBerlin and Protocol Berg in Berlin. We do all of our communications only on Matrix and our Protocol Berg / ETHBerlin space has roughly 1000 members. If time allows, I can also share insights, learnings and observations from that!

In my work as a Bridge developer, I have to maintain and debug Matrix rooms. When a bridge stops working in a particular room, I must inspect and maybe modify the room from the perspective of the bridge. Formerly, this involved a lot of manual commands in a terminal. To make this easier I wrote Matrix Wrench. It's a User Interface for viewing room state, editing room memberships, permissions and other moderation tasks.

In the past years the use of [matrix] as instant messaging and RTC platform has increased. Besides the common uses for self hosted, secure and federated communications as well as bridging to other chat networks, diverse uses for [matrix] have arised. Given the versatility of [matrix], it has been used in contact center environments to add fully featured chats, agent/supervisor roles, multichannel communication via bridges and customized chat bot applications. All of the above thanks to [matrix] ecosystem and the multiple open source projects that are available. In addtion to servers and clients, [matrix] application services provide extensible functionality decoupled from the homeserver. The typical use for application services is to build protocol bridges in order to interoperate with other networks. Nevertheless, application services have enormous potential in other use cases where a more grained control is needed in [matrix] rooms. In this talk, we want to share our experience about building an application service to handle member functions (login, logout, pause, unpause), chat queueing and distribution as well as conversation states and event generation for metrics and statistics. All of this proven in production environments with multiple bridges and tens of thousands of chat rooms.

[Trixnity](https://trixnity.gitlab.io/trixnity/) is not only cross platform capable, but also suitable for clients, bots, servers, appservices or anything in between (e.g. a proxy). This talk shows how the aforementioned features are implemented and what challenges had to be overcome. It shows what Trixnity does differently and why. For example, a cache on top of the database was implemented by accident and timeline events are handled in a special way. A live demo will show a fast multiplatform matrix client based on Trixnity.
