Talking of The Matrix Conference - this was by far the highlight of the year; not just due to being an excellent excuse to get Matrix 2.0 implementations launched, but because it really showed the breadth and maturity of the wider Matrix ecosystem.

One of the most interesting dynamics was that by far the busiest track was the Public Sector talk track (sponsored by Element) – standing room only, with folks queuing outside or watching the livefeed, whether this was [Gematik talking about Matrix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoA2cYfHlyA) powering communications for the German healthcare industry, [SwissPost showing off their nationwide Matrix deployment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIRuxDuWIDE) for Switzerland, [DINUM showing off Tchap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1roliPrNqc) for France, [NATO explaining NI²CE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aswIHJRwkk) (their Matrix messenger), [Försäkringskassen showing off Matrix for Sweden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLt70u0btsM) with SAFOS, [Tele2 showcasing Tele2 Samarbete](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oan-bx84ui8) (Matrix based collaboration from one of Sweden’s main telcos), FITKO explaining how to do [Government-to-Citizen communication with Matrix in Germany](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj_tBpTlBEE), [ZenDiS using Matrix for secure communication](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMxxfRiaN98) in the German sovereign workspace openDesk project, or [IBM showing off their Matrix healthcare deployments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRaKEw6Wo3U).

A key part of building the Governing Board has been recruiting to our membership program, which brings together organizations, communities, and individuals who are invested in Matrix. Our members illustrate the breadth of the ecosystem, and many of them are funders who help sustain our mission.

Of course, only being able to sustain half our annual budget is not nearly good enough, and it means that we live hand-to-mouth, extending our financial runway a bit at a time. It’s a nail biter of a ride for the hardworking staff who labor under this uncertainty, but we savor every win and all the progress we’ve made.
