We are incredibly excited to launch Technology Preview 1 of Third Room: an open, decentralised vision of the metaverse without NFTs or blockchains - built entirely on The Matrix.org Foundation. Check it out! thirdroom.io/preview

🎉So excited to see the #DMA officially landing! Next up: ensure the implementation is made easy and supports the spirit of the law...🤞A lot of work left to be done, but things are moving!💙

EXCLUSIVE: The first metaverse platform to make it easy for 'normies' to create content (aka User-Generated Content, or UGC) is onto a winner. Won't be Meta — still working on legs — but Third Room, created by Matthew Hodgson of The Matrix.org Foundation, now has UGC editor. thenewstack.io/third-room-tea…

Very proud that WEDF is being run on Element! In 20mn I’ll be sharing our views on how the DMA can be implemented and interoperability can be unleashed 😊 Tune in!

UP NEXT: Amandine Le Pape of The Matrix.org Foundation & Element explains how to surmount bureaucracy and keep innovation and the open-source community thriving… #NowPlaying at #WEDF2022 for free: forum.worldethicaldata.org/#/login

Very cool to see La Quadrature du Net (very roughly, the French equivalent of the EFF) coordinating via Matrix! Si vous parlez français, regardez ici!

Heads up that we're continuing to work away at running Matrix over MLS (Messaging Layer Security) - the new end-to-end encryption protocol being worked on within IETF, as an alternative to Olm/Megolm. You can now keep up with progress at... arewemlsyet.com!!! 🚀😱🎉👻🫶🚀

[the place to be] Sacré programme à Capitole du Libre Toulouse ce week-end ! Comme par exemple la table ronde "Logiciel Libre et Souveraineté numérique" avec Amandine Le Pape, Philippe Latombe, ＧΛËＬ ＤＵＶΛＬ 💻📱🐧 @[email protected] et Stéphane Bortzmeyer animée par Etienne Gonnu cfp.capitoledulibre.org/cdl-2022/talk/…

Good thread on the danger of centralized ecosystems…

Indescribably exciting to have just been the first ever(!) person to enter Matrix in VR, thanks to Third Room's first cut of WebXR support. Add in freeform scripting via our WebSG API and built-in direct-manipulation scene editor, and the possibilities will be infinite!! 🤯🚀👽

Daniel Melin on how the Swedish govt brought its comms providers and asked them to cooperate and interoperate. One year later, most of them had moved to The Matrix.org Foundation and interoperate. Govt can have an impact on pushing open standards! Rocket.Chat Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 #EUOpenSource

📝Looking forward to a ton of useful content on Entrepreneurship in Open Source today at #SOOCon23! From community to revenue and funding I’ll be there to compare notes 🤓 Thanks for hosting OpenUK !

🚨Blanket surveillance and censorship are *not* the answer to online safety… 🛑 Hopefully the UK govt will recover their senses… Read more on our blog!

Matthew Hodgson exploring the technical aspects of interoperability in the DMA workshop with EU Competition Paul Rösler Meta Mozilla Cisco

IWD always makes me wish we didn’t have to celebrate it: obv. gender shouldn’t matter and everyone should be equal 🤦‍♀️ But if that’s what’s needed to raise awareness & celebrate those who may inspire others, hopefully it’s for the best. I would be proud to achieve any of these!

Slow Friday? 🥱 Catch-up on the European Commission DMA interoperability workshop! 📺 We’ve summarised all the discussions about how to concretely implement the #DMA in our blog 🤓

Good summary on the #DMA by @NomadicNarnian in TNW! But I disagree that the implementation of interop is unclear: we've even demoed it in Brussels with The Matrix.org Foundation : matrix.org/blog/2023/03/1… "Break them open" – new EU rules coming for Big Tech thenextweb.com/news/break-the…

We’re delighted Tele2 chose Element to be an integral part of its new Tele2 Collaborate (Tele2 Samarbete) service, providing Sweden’s public sector with digitally sovereign and secure communications. element.io/blog/element-s…
