Matrix will again be represented at the WebRTC Conference & Expo in Paris. Daniel and myself are catching the Eurostar tomorrow afternoon, and the conference will start early Wednesday morning with a panel about WebRTC for Mobile, where Daniel is one of the participants.
I’m sure we will have three days full of interesting talks and discussions (see the full schedule here). There will be demos as well, and Matrix is (of course!) also joining the demo competition. We hope to see many familiar faces – and hopefully meet some new ones as well!
If you are going to the conference, please come and say hello – we will have a stand at the expo (we’re table #6 – see map here). And don’t miss Daniel’s Matrix One-year Status Report at 11.10am on Friday!
See you there!

Matrix will be represented at the 32nd Chaos Computer Club, Dec 27th-30th, 2015. We hope to be arranging an assembly, where people can come along to learn about Matrix and our recent work on end-to-end encryption, find out what they can use Matrix for – and also do some hacking at the same time!
UPDATE: We’ve snagged a table for the assembly at: “hackcenter room with C-base, a table along the pathway”. In practice only Mjark is there from Matrix and may be moving around, so may be easiest to coordinate meetups via #32C3:matrix.org
The session is free of charge, although you do need a ticket to the Congress itself.
If you are interested, please register by sending an email to mark@matrix.org. All you need for the session is curiosity – but do bring your own laptop if you want to hack as well!
Anyone is welcome to join – it will basically be a fairly open-ended chat about all things relating to Matrix, and a good chance to do some deep digging into Matrix itself.
Hope to see you there!

In addition to the Android release a couple of days ago, we also released a new version of Matrix Console iOS: v0.5.6!
This release includes a new version of MatrixKit (v0.2.7) that you can take advantage of in your MatrixKit powered app. There are several changes in MatrixKit since the last release, including improved performance, better handling of unrecognized certificates and fixes of reported crash issues. We have also introduced read receipts, improved the chat history display, made room invites more obvious, and fixed a whole lot of JIRA issues.
You can find the full list of changes in the MatrixKit CHANGES.rst and the Matrix Console iOS CHANGES.rst files.
