Come to think about it, I think there are two different issues here:
- the user at gnuradio.org matrix accounts
- the rooms (including their content)

For the rooms, I stay with my previous mail.


For the accounts, I guess the workload to maintain this part is a lot lower.
But the question is, although this would allow people who now have a 
matrix account via FOSDEM to use it to connect to rooms on other matrix 
servers, how many people are actually aware of this feature?
And, as they can just as easy get an account on any other matrix server, 
... would the investment by the FOSDEM people for this be worth it?

But, as said, this is not for me to descide.


Cheerio! Kr, Bonne.
