We're grateful to the DINUM for their contributions to the Matrix.org Foundation 🙏🏻
It is vital that Matrix remains independent, and that can only happen with both financial security (supported by a variety of organisations), and a range of voices collaborating over its governance.
7/27/2026We still have some volunteer slots available to support various tasks we need help with at The Matrix Conference (and, we're very grateful to everyone that has offered their help already!).
You can be one of the heroes that helps us to create a wonderful event, and you'll get a limited-edition zipper hoodie as a Thank You 🙏🏻
Sign up to help by this Friday, July 31 - also the last day for merchandise orders.
More information on the conference website.

Sections just landed in Element 🎉
Under the hood they’re Matrix tags as defined in the spec, but with a shiny drag-and-drop UI. It’s what Favourites and Low Priority already used.
Now you can group rooms: create a section, add rooms into it, collapse what you don't need, and get unread indicators per section.
