Acter - Activism Organizing on Matrix
Benjamin "Ben" Kampmann

Last year we presented Effektio - the idea of building an organizing platform on Matrix. 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.
