The Dutch central government plans to switch its chat systems to the open Matrix protocol, with the transition expected to be completed by 2028. The change will apply to internal communication first. Open source advocates have welcomed the move, seeing it as a significant endorsement of decentralised, interoperable messaging by a national government.

Why now: A national government adopting an open-source decentralised messaging protocol is seen as a major win for the FOSS community.
