Folks, finally it's here. Synapse 0.34.0 - Python 3 recommended for production. This is a big one, with huge improvements in CPU and RAM usage. Thanks for everyone that helped us test it. https://matrix.org/blog/2018/12/20/synapse-0-34-0-released/

We're excited to announce that we've incorporated The http://Matrix.org Foundation: providing a formal, independent, non-profit, neutral custodian for the Matrix standard for decades to come!! We're still bootstrapping the governance; see https://matrix.org/blog/2018/10/29/introducing-the-matrix-org-foundation-part-1-of-2/ for details

Here's another screenie because this is starting to look soooooo nice :D

RT @gnome@twitter.com: The Google Summer of Code was a huge success! So many great coders spent real effort to bring new features and ideas to a huge variety of projects, for instance, check out this blog about Fractal! https://blogs.gnome.org/jsparber/2018/08/11/the-end-of-gsoc/

Fascinating blog at https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/05/16/banquets-and-barbecues/ from @tobias_bernard,@twitter.com detailing the plans to split the Fractal Matrix client into separate messenger and collaboration apps. Food for thought! (both bbq & banquet flavoured...)

France confirms that Matrix (and Riot) is the basis for their upcoming secure communication app for official government use, and will be 100% FOSS! Exciting times :D
