Hi all, Back in April 2020 I published a surprisingly popular guide of how to self-host a basic Matrix instance on Debian using Riot (as Element was called back then!), Synapse and Jitsi.

The Matrix Conference saw the official launch of Element X! That means Element X is now the mobile app that almost all Element users should be using for messaging; both in the workplace and for personal use. Some large customers that self-host are still using the classic mobile Element apps. Once those customers have migrated, Element X will simply become ‘Element’ and the classic mobile apps will be retired.

Element is delighted to be joining the launch of openDesk at Smart Country Convention in Berlin, 15-17 October. For those that don’t know already, openDesk is an Office & Collaboration Suite for public administration. The development of openDesk is led by the Centre for Digital Sovereignty in Public Administration (ZenDiS), a limited company created by Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). Element was selected by ZenDiS as the real time communications component within openDesk.

Fast Company recently covered NATO ACT’s partnership with us to create its NI2CE Messenger, an exploratory initiative to investigate the potential of a digitally sovereign messenger. For experimental use within NATO ACT, NI2CE (NATO Interoperable Instant Communication Environment) is a sovereign and secure messenger that aims to complement existing NATO communication solutions with a secure Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) style messenger for ‘non classified’ use.

Matrix performs well in BSI audit conducted by MGM Security Partners, only for findings to be misunderstood. On Sunday 1 September, Heise published an inaccurate article that caused much confusion and – unfortunately – turned a positive story about the German government funding open source security research into a bad news story. This blog post aims to address the misunderstandings. *Many thanks to Heise for subsequently correcting the headline.
