Matrix "Live" S2 Ep 2 - Jan 12

Funding:

 * New office!  And by the time the wider audience see this episode, we should be able to announce our long-term funding solution :)

 * Patreon donations are on the rise again - thank you!  Even if New Vector has funding, we *really* want to keep Matrix.org donations going to ensure Matrix itself prevails no matter what else is happening :)

 * We're now working on the Matrix.org Foundation as a proper legal entity for Matrix.org at last.

Synapse:

 0.26 still needs to be released, but slightly scared about pushing a release just before Christmas after what happened last year

Matrix "Live" Ep 22 - Dec 15

Synapse

  - Synapse 0.26 rc1 was released with relatively minor fixes; we'll release next week.

Internal weekly sync

Hi folks - as meet.jit.si's Youtube streaming seems pretty unreliable atm, let's just use https://jitsi.riot.im/WeeklySync for the internal sync if they're around.  Sorry that means it doesn't get recorded; we'll try to get a proper solution asap.

Matrix "Live" Ep 21 - Dec 8

Welcome to this week's Matrix Live... from Eurostar! (we've been in France for the Paris OpenSource Summit, meeting folks we're doing Matrix work consulting for, and hanging out with the iOS & Android team in Rennes)

Funding:

  We've seen a hit on Patreon thanks to them changing their billing structure - please try Liberapay if you're upset about this rather than giving up.

  Long term funding inches forever closer.

Live streaming sync now!

Matrix almost-live!

Hi folks,

I'm afraid that we've failed to record a dedicated Matrix Live for this week, what with the disruption of the Matrix & Friends meetup in Berlin yesterday and lots of other distractions - so instead we're going to shamelessly cheat and try to pass off the recording of the live broadcast of the meetup as this week's episode...

The meetup talks were structured in three sections, conveniently bookmarked for your reference:

1. Matthew & Amandine giving a general update...

Matrix & Friends meetup tonight in Berlin!

Dear Berliner-Matrix patreons... in case you've missed it, tonight we're having a meetup for Matrix & Friends at the BlueYard offices in Kreuzberg, to start showing off long-awaited Group support in Matrix.  We have special guests: Exul showing his Rust-based matrix-rocketchat bridge; Jack Fransham from Polkadot; carlo von lynX from Secushare and Max Möhring from Keyp.io - it should be a blast!  There's also free beer & pizza courtesy of BlueYard.  So if you're not alread...
