Chaos Computer Congress on Matrix next?

• Arathorn 6y ago
  If CCC were up for it, we'd be game. Could even go and embed Work Adventure into Matrix as a widget, for best of both worlds (hah). https://apfelkraut.org/2021/02/virtual-conference-experiences/ https://apfelkraut.org/2021/02/virtual-conference-experience... was an interesting side-by-side comparison of rC3 and FOSDEM.

    +1 for Work Adventure !

    I attended both conferences and both were great. The traditional tool for digital communication at CCC congresses is IRC. I personally still like IRC, but I think the matrix web client at FOSDEM made channel discovery and navigation a lot easier. I also think promoting Matrix could help with promoting open ecosystems in general. IRC works well, but it doesn't have the potential for mass adoption, which we need in order to curb WhatsApp's influence.

      IRC is easy to bridge to Matrix, so that could be fairly compatible with the more conservative guys at CCC(C) ;)

        The public matrix rooms at FOSDEM were bridged to irc. This was not by accident. We tried to give visitors the freedom to use their preferred tools to join FOSDEM. Whether you were using matrix with the latest Chromium or irssi in a tmux session on OpenBSD, you were able to speak to people at the conference. Same for the streaming. Inside the matrix channel would have worked, but mpv on some framebuffer without X or wayland too...
