You're thinking of Element: https://element.io/case-studies/nato https://element.io/case-studies/nato
Now do Nextcloud and many other projects.
It's FOSS. There are volunteer contributors.

> Matrix is not just an open standard for secure communication, it’s an openly governed and collaboratively developed ecosystem of projects powered by a growing community of volunteers and vendors. In this way, Matrix exemplifies the open source ethos, encourages greater innovation, and defies those who would try to build businesses based on extractive behavior and vendor lock-in.
Oh look, more calls for volunteers, despite "running on European taxpayer money": https://conference.matrix.org/volunteer/ https://conference.matrix.org/volunteer/
Sorry, but idiotic remarks like this stink of having an agenda.
You don't even put a name and identity to your HN account and provide zero sources. At best, you're clueless, at worst you're spreading FUD.
- AAAAaccountAAAA 1y agoOh, it seems you are here to just troll and insult everyone. Matrix by calling it just a some sort of volunteer project run by nerds in basements, and those too, who are not pleased with it's problems. What exactly does have a "call for volunteers" to haul around stuff in a some sort of conference has to do with anything? What has Nextcloud to do with this? You'd have known that Matrix ecosystem has lots of paid professionals working on it, if you made even a cursory research on the subject before starting to write cheeky comments. You claimed the problems with Matrix can be solved with a few pull requests. It's your duty to back it up.
- hammyhavoc 1y agoNowhere did I say "a few pull requests". I said "pull requests welcome". Every accusation is a confession—you are the troll. If you are insulted then that is on you. Name these paid professionals.
