Get Into Your Element

Element is one of the key products for reaching a federated, secure communications platform over the Matrix protocol. In our inaugural episode, The IT Guy sits down with Karl Abbott to talk about what Element is and what is happening in this rapidly growing community!

The Office of the IT Guy is a show published to celebrate the people and talk about the technology that is changing our world! Our mission is to share our love for open source and build a stronger community.
