Matrix Conference 2025

Half-Shot

Half-Shot (or Will) was the lead maintainer of integrations on matrix.org for many years, and now is retired to simply doing all the other things instead. Famous for causing things such as the libera.chat IRC bridge, replacing everything with the Hookshot bridge, and the most cursed implementations of bridge encryption.

When he's not doing Matrix things, he is making terrible indie games, running somewhere, or possibly making a fuss of a dog!

Holding the Fort: How did bridges happen
Half-Shot

Take a trip back through time with me as we learn about how bridges happened. Why did we do it at all? Whose idea was it to hook up the then fledgling matrix.org network to the biggest IRC network? How many databases were shredded in the line of duty?
