Hi folks,
|
||
|
||
On October 19th (next Thursday, as of the time of writing) we're going to be back in Berlin for various meetings - and we're incredibly excited that <a href="http://blueyard.com/">BlueYard</a> have offered to host the world's first ever official <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/matrix-and-friends-tickets-38729041606">Matrix and Decentralised Communications Meetup</a> at their offices in Kreuzberg! Matthew, Amandine and maybe others will be attending and speaking from the core team, and giving a VIP tour of the long-long-long-awaited Groups/Communities features in Matrix and Riot as well as some of the other good stuff in the pipeline - and we're also excited to have Exul joining us from the community to talk about his recent <a href="https://github.com/exul/matrix-rocketchat">Matrix<->Rocket.Chat</a> bridging adventures. We're also expecting some exciting folks to join us from the Ethereum community to talk about decentralised realtime comms in their ecosystem - plus if anyone wants to talk about other Matrix/XMPP/Tox/Briar/Richochet or similar projects please ping us and let us know asap!

<b>Update: we're excited to announce that <a href="https://twitter.com/jFransham">Jack Fransham</a> from <a href="https://polkadot.network/">Polkadot</a> (who are <a href="https://riot.im/app/#/room/#polkadot-watercooler:matrix.org">very active</a> Riot/Matrix users - and just raised >$130M in their token generation event yesterday) will also be joining us to tell us all about how Polkadot bridges together different blockchains!</b>. (The original speaker was Marek Kotewicz, but availability didn't work out).

As a taster: the official video of our massive talk from the ETHLDN meetup a few weeks ago was just released (see below). The meetup in Berlin will have different content and be more free-form, letting folks ask their own questions and steer the conversation and discussion as you see fit: so please come hang out in person, grab pizza and beer courtesy of BlueYard, and find the answers to all the deepest Matrix questions you never knew you even had...!
|
||
|
||
See you next week! :D
