 **What it is**: [[https://matrix.org|Matrix]] is a FLOSS communications protocol intended to be a highly secure backend for chat, email, social media, and other applications. It is still early-stage, but it a very promising project, and it has already been adopted by several European governments seeking to reduce their dependence on US-based software companies. Rather than relying on centralized companies, it enables both federated and peer-to-peer connections. Our own instance is currently not federated with the wider Matrix network, as we only use it internally, but we could add this functionality if we see fit. We use Element, which is the flagship Matrix client; Element used to be called "Riot," which is why that's in the URL on NextCloud. **What it is**: [[https://matrix.org|Matrix]] is a FLOSS communications protocol intended to be a highly secure backend for chat, email, social media, and other applications.
