🇪🇺 Matrix underpins public sector comms across Europe, from France's Tchap to Germany's BundesMessenger. Yet only one government agency commits to support the standard they all rely on.

💡 That’s just one gap to fill to build an open source Europe. The new Digital Commons EDIC @Digital_Commons_EDIC can make a real impact though, and here’s how: https://matrix.org/blog/2026/10/14/build-open-source-europe-how-dc-edic-help/
