Hey all,
Today’s Matrix 1.16 release brings two major features to the protocol: extensible profiles and room version 12 from Project Hydra! With room version 12, users should see fewer “state resets” and a clearer hierarchy for power levels in the room. The Project Hydra blog post covers the changes in more detail, so this post will focus on extensible profiles and our plan for Matrix 2.0.
As always, the full changelog and descriptions of the 9 MSCs released today is at the end of this post.

Hi all, we here at Element Towers recently ran a two day hackathon called “How Hard Can It Be?”. The idea being to try out a bunch of ideas that we’ve been noodling on. At the end of the event we ran a demos session and we thought we’d share the video with you.
This is the first time we’ve run an event like this, but it certainly won’t be the last. I’ve also been talking with Yan about the idea of expanding it to be Matrix wide, so anyone can get involved. Watch this space.
Disclaimer: Don't get too excited, it was just a two day hackathon, so everything you see is very much at the poc stage. Though, we may pick a few up in the coming months and ship for real.

Super exciting to see the European Commission soft-launch their first official Matrix Server (https://mathstodon.xyz/@Pol/115173504011566267), powered by Element Server Suite. Watch this space for more info :D
🔗Governing Board (website)
The Governing Board is an advisory board to the Matrix.org Foundation and with elected representatives from all across the Matrix ecosystem.

This week I'm excited to share some quick transparency update from the Governing Board. Together with the Website & Content Working Group, we have updated the Governing Board area of the matrix.org homepage, adding more info about the Governing Board's current Committees! We have mentioned the Committees before and named them on the website. The Committee names are mostly speaking for themselves, but one of the goals in open governance is transparency, not guessing. 😉 So we have just added a new subpage at https://matrix.org/foundation/governing-board/committees/ where you can now find each Committee's charter, members, and meeting schedule.
We have also tweaked the main Governing Board page, restructuring the info about the elected representatives and chairs visually to be easier to grasp in the context of Foundation member constituencies and Committees respectively. Give it a whirl, and as always hit us with any questions about the Governing Board over at the #governing-board-office:matrix.org!
