* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

Excuse me, Ms Streisand. Could I get your attention?
"I'm a little angry, maybe, at the unfortunate situation, especially since I had connected the situation to the values of the school board and what I had learned throughout my four years of being at the school," she said.
"I was applying that to being an advocate and making sure that those who are oppressed have a voice in our society."
It'd be great if the OCDSB school board could act with the same integrity that they're trying to instill in their students.
Especially with a name like OCD School Board. You'd think they'd pay attention to the details...
