Connectivity Standards Alliance Unveils Matter, Formerly Known as Project CHIP

Very high level. I really liked gigastacey/staceyoniot's coverage[1][2].

One of the key torments of this new industrial-supergroup's project, quoting staceyoniot:

The CSA is also focused on releasing as much as it can as open-source code, which strikes me as somewhat incongruous with the fact that to see or vote on the developing standard, companies had to pay to join the CSA and the Matter working group. However, the code is all available on Github, and anyone will be able to see it and download it for their applications and devices.

The world doesn't deserve better than a ubiquotous & pervasive world of computing devices all around us that we don't know how to talk to, don't know how to communicate with, can't see the standards for: we NEED to do better.

The ongoing war against general purpose computing never happened in IoT, because IoT seemingly has never had any pretense of including the users in any way except as end user consumers. It's entirely the bastion of the enemy, and Connectivity Standards Alliance is continuing this campaign against the user, against our rights, against readability, against understandability, against the Enlightenment project itself. More IoT that keeps us in the dark. Enough!
