Presentations:

This month we have two speakers.

''Towards a “Humane Interface”: Back to the Future with the Canon Cat'' 
- by Karamoon

Dr. Emmett Brown famously said “'Where we're going, we don't need 
roads’. We do, however, need user interfaces that are fit for purpose.

This talk will look at Jef Raskin's M68000-based "Canon Cat”.

It’s an unusual computer and interesting computer released in 1987. 
Perhaps it gives us a glimpse into a possible future of human-computer 
interaction?

The most striking feature of the Canon Cat its lack of any software 
application; instead it consists of a single document with all 
functionality provided at OS-level. There are some other interesting 
points too such as the embedded Forth compiler, an assembly language, a 
novel file system, incremental search...

"Decentralised secure communication with Matrix - status update" - By 
Alexey Rusakov

The talk will give a briefly overview Matrix (https://www.matrix.org), 
an open decentralised network for real-time communications and provide a 
status update on what has been happening with it over the last year.

It will cover advanced end-to-end encryption features, news on clients 
and bridges, general things about the ecosystem and future plans. 
Questions and extra requests are welcome: we can setup a homeserver, 
draft up yet-another-bot, or talk about details of the Matrix protocols.
