With things like that happening, are you at the same time still having trouble getting funding?
I imagine the EU has a decent budget for cybersecurity stuff, so if they rely on matrix for important things it seems reasonable for them to help out with some funding. Are they helping out, or are they like so many others just expecting to use something free while expecting others to carry the cost?

Yup, unfortunately - worse than ever. Folks are happy to pay for new features, but not for maintaining them, or maintaining/improving what’s already there. And much like getting a puppy, the vast majority of the cost is the upkeep.

We’re continuing to try to locate it.
