While it’s great to see more high profile deployments of Matrix, this is another instance of the failure mode described at https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022 https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update... where an organisation with massive funds depends on an open source project like Element and Matrix for critical infrastructure… but doesn’t contribute a cent to the underlying development (yet, at any rate). As a result, Matrix funding continues to be at risk - and basically forces us increasingly down an open core model like the one described by Sid at https://opencoreventures.com/blog/2023-04-red-hat-model-only-worked-red-hat/ https://opencoreventures.com/blog/2023-04-red-hat-model-only.... It’s incredibly frustrating; in this instance we’ll reach out to Poland and see if we can find a way for them to contribute by donating to the Matrix Foundation, or by buying stuff from Element, or both.
