IRCd was a free and open source server which facilitated real-time communication over the
internet. It was started by Jarkko Oikarinen in 1988 at the University of Oulu and [its
derivatives](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/IRCd_software_implementations.png)
underpinned the major IRC networks for decades.
It all started in 1988 when Jarkko Oikarinen developed a free and open source server
at the University of Oulu which facilitated real-time communication over the internet.
Its [derivatives](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/IRCd_software_implementations.png)
have underpinned the major IRC networks for decades ever since.
Due to its age and stagnation since the mid-2000's, a growing number of proprietary cloud services
are now filling the vacuum of innovation. In 2014 a new approach was proposed to reinvigorate
real-time communication for free and open source software: a *federation of networks* known as
*the matrix*.

Matrix is about giving you control over your communication; Construct is about
giving you control over Matrix. We are liberal with what we accept for ideas and
contributions. Whether you are optimizing the entire protocol or just filling a
need only a few others might share: please support the project by contributing
