Description
Matrix is the open decentralised communication protocol recently adopted by the Ubuntu Community for realtime communication.
Much like Linux, Matrix has been on a journey - starting as a very developer-focused technology, and then making the transition to being usable by mainstream desktop/mobile users and being able to outperform closed proprietary alternatives. This has culminated in Matrix 2.0 - a set of new APIs which let Matrix clients such as Element X outperform the likes of Telegram, Discord and WhatsApp.
In this talk I'll give a VIP tour of Matrix 2.0 in my capacity as Project Lead of Matrix, and explain how we're trying to ensure that open communication eventually wins - and that Matrix becomes the real-time communication layer of the open Web.
