DESCRIPTION:Matrix is an open source project that defines an open protocol
  for secure decentralised communication.  Today's public Matrix network ha
 s over 28M users spread over 60K deployments\, including the entirety of t
 he French State\, German military\, Mozilla\, Wikimedia Foundation and man
 y others. Matrix's roots can be traced back to a Part IB CompSci project\,
  but it's come a long way since then!  In this talk we'll explain our work
  on Matrix over the last year\, including moving from a federated client-s
 erver model into a hybrid peer-to-peer network\, featuring our own Pinecon
 e P2P overlay network and adding Bluetooth Low Energy support on iOS & And
 roid.  We'll also explain how we ran FOSDEM\, the world's largest open sou
 rce conference (35K attendees)\, entirely online via Matrix a few weeks ag
 o.
