@npub1mew…gjf7 Yeah, sometimes using a foundation's infrastructure is about sharing cost burdens, but _every_ time it's about having a neutral space within which to collaborate.

2024-06-28 20:20:11

- reply

@npub1mew…gjf7 FOSS foundations provide all sorts of infrastructure to the projects they steward on behalf of their respective ecosystem: version control, CI/CD, open governance, accounts receivable and payable, etc. Obviously we don't run GitHub but we pay for their services on behalf of the projects we host.

2024-06-28 20:15:34

- reply

@npub1mew…gjf7 No, they're not employed by the Foundation though we too are facing funding challenges.
Like other FOSS foundations, we host many projects that are key to the ecosystem on our infrastructure. Our limited R&D funds are currently focused on Trust & Safety and bridge maintenance.

@npub1mew…gjf7 It is our understanding that the folks who had been developing Dendrite don't have the funds they need to continue development at this time. We hope to see that change!

We've rolled out perf improvements as of 16:15 UTC and things look to be recovering. Sorry for the disruption.

The http://matrix.org homeserver has been struggling with load over the last 24h (thanks perhaps to Slack for driving users our way: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/slack-defends-default-opt-in-for-ai-training-on-chats-amid-user-outrage/) - we're working on fixing performance. Folks on other homeservers are of course unaffected. Apologies for the inconvenience. https://status.matrix.org is tracking the incident.

The Foundation's Managing Director, @npub1up6…5rqj, recently completed a migration from managed Matrix with EMS to self-hosting using the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project. It was a tricky process, so we're sharing the details!
Whether or not you're migrating homeservers, or setting up a fresh homeserver, the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project greatly simplifies getting started with self-hosting.
