"The trend is increasingly towards open standards that allow switching between different providers. Unlike proprietary platforms, communication capability is not tied to a single manufacturer."

"Different providers can communicate with each other as long as they support the same standard. Federation thus occurs not via central platforms but through a network of independent systems," writes @nprofile1q... in @heiseonline.

The European Technological Sovereignty Package is a major milestone 🇪🇺

The EU Open Source Strategy is a key part of ensuring sovereignty, and highlights the need for improved public procurement of open source solutions.

Great to see the @nprofile1q... open standard highlighted for vendor-agnostic, sovereign communications and its use by the @nprofile1q.... Open standards deliver sovereignty by protecting against vendor lock-in.

Sweden's public sector just went live with Matrix-based federation!

Försäkringskassan (using Element branded as SAFOS Chatt) and Trafikverket (Rocket.Chat) are now communicating in real time - two separate agencies, two different vendors, one seamless conversation.

Led by eSamverkansprogrammet (eSam) across 40+ member agencies, with plans to expand and formally recommend @nprofile1q... as the common standard for secure, interoperable communication across Sweden's authorities.

🔐 Encrypted chats no longer have to start with a blank slate...

For years, end-to-end encryption (E2EE) meant new members joining a chat couldn’t see any history. Conversations stayed cryptographically locked, forcing teams to rely on workarounds like screenshots just to provide context.

👉 Today, that changes. With seamless encrypted history sharing now available in Element, new members can securely access past conversations without compromising E2EE.

We didn't include universities in the map, but we're delighted at how popular Element and Matrix has been across universities.

This might be out of date, but it gives an idea: https://doc.matrix.tu-dresden.de/en/why/?ref=element.io

If anyone wants to put a 'Matrix universities map' together, we'd be happy to help!
