Копим на пенсию в открытом коде

Эта статья адресована прежде всего коллегам-мигрантам. Наши пенсионные отчисления прерываются с пересечением границы и начинаются заново на новом месте - уже по законам другой страны. Накопленный стаж и уплаченные налоги - коту под хвост. Зачастую, выполнить до старости пенсионные требования невозможно, если у вас уже почтенный возраст, проблемы со здоровьем, долго не давали право на работу или выбранная для иммиграции страна - не конечный пункт назначения. 

Но и лояльным гражданам расслабляться не стоит. Правила расчета пенсионных выплат нарочно запутаны и постоянно меняются. Возраст выхода на пенсию повышают, а покупательную способность денег девальвируют. Демографическая ситуация почти в каждой стране плачевна: отчисления работников...

Cybiko: социальный КПК с Mesh-сетью из 2000 года

Мы давно с вами привыкли к соц. сетям, мессенджерам и сайтам знакомств. За долгие годы пребывания в сети, я видел взлёт и падение ВК, закрытие ICQ и появление Telegram, переход знакомств из реальной жизни — в Badoo и, наконец, появление AI-контента.

Сейчас эти ленты с мемами, каналы, шортсы, свайпы — всё это кажется такой обыденностью, будто это существовало всегда. Однако в конце 90-х, общение и потребление контента выглядели совсем не так и главный тому пример — уникальный КПК для общения Cybiko, способный создавать беспроводную локальную сеть в радиусе 300м. Что за гаджет разработала компания Давида Яна и что у него внутри...

Solving the Fork Dilemma: How We Built a Maintainable Matrix Messenger (matrix-conf-2025)

Tammy is a multiplatform Matrix Messenger designed to be redefined by you. Want a different room list layout? Need a messaging interface tailored to a specific use case? Tammy’s extensible architecture makes that not only possible - but easy. In this talk, we’ll showcase how Tammy empowers developers to create radically customized Matrix experiences through its extension system. We’ll walk you through how we’re using Tammy to build Timmy, a TI-Messenger variant tailored for a very specific user group, with a completely different look and feel - all without forking or rewriting the core client. Expect...

Holding the Fort: How did bridges happen (matrix-conf-2025)

Take a trip back through time with me as we learn about how bridges happened. Why did we do it at all? Whose idea was it to hook up the then fledgling matrix.org network to the biggest IRC network? How many databases were shredded in the line of duty? This talk features a journey back through time as we look at bridges and integrations that have been built on Matrix over the years, and what we can hope to learn from it. There will be laughter, there will be eyebrows raised, there will be content...

A Contextual Integrity approach to privacy in interoperable messaging (matrix-conf-2025)

This talk will introduce the Helen Nissenbaum's theory of Contextual Integrity as a framework for understanding privacy in messaging platforms. Contextual Integrity views privacy not as keeping information secret, but as making sure information flows in ways that match people’s expectations in a given context, or in other words, what feels appropriate to share, with whom, and for what purpose. For example, if Alice shares her live location with Bob through a messaging app, she likely expects the app to use her location only to deliver it to Bob. But if the app also...

fairkom has developed a [matrix]-based school messenger for the Department of Education of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate to serve up to half a million users. Schulchat RLP has one code base for all platforms and is available as app on Apple and Google Play Stores. What makes this solution unique is the deep integration of the identity and user management system from the "Bildungsportal RLP", ensuring seamless use for teachers, students, and even parents - from primary to vocational schools. For Schulchat RLP we have added a sophisticated address book into the messenger with role...

Getting started with Element Server Suite Community (matrix-conf-2025)

Join us for an introduction to the Element Server Suite Community, the simplest way to deploy a Kubernetes-based Matrix 2.0-ready stack, maintained by Element. This workshop will deploy all the components of the suite: a Synapse homeserver with Matrix Authentication Service enabled, a Matrix RTC backend for calls, and an Element web client. You'll be able to try it on your local laptop using your Docker daemon, or deploy it on a virtual machine with a single-node Kubernetes setup. Whether you're new to Kubernetes and Matrix or looking to expand your server capabilities, this...

Portable identites (MSC 2787) and the GDPR right to rectification, a pressing need for server operators (matrix-conf-2025)

Most of the discussions around privacy laws have been focused on the protection of data and condition of processing. But some others rights are starting to be litigated more widley and will soon play a bigger role for IT systems managers. This talk will focus on the GDPR article 16 (right to rectification), and how the current Matrix spec is inadequate for servers operators aiming to let people change their username, since MXID can't be changed (as of this proposal writing in June 2025). Based on the ongoing work done by the [Fedora community](https://fedoraproject.org/) on...

Building Matrix-Powered Campus Communication Platform Thousands Students (matrix-conf-2025)

In this talk I will present my journey in developing a decentralized and secure communication platform for a university with thousands students and faculty members. Using Matrix and Element as foundation I tailored the solution to meet academic needs, ensure data privacy and integrate with some systems, bots, widgets etc. The session will cover: - Why Matrix was chosen over other platforms. - Technical stack and deployment model. - Customization of Element and federation decisions. - Challenges (including authentication, onboarding, moderation and compliance). - Real-world impact and feedback. - Future plans including bridging, widgets and improvements. This case study shows how Matrix...
