I guess I should introduce myself, if you happen across this Blog then there may be that chance that you actually wish to know some details about me.

How do I put this, these guys are simply fantastic. If you haven’t already, I suggest their weekly Live Stream, Bilge Tank over on YouTube, weekly on Thursday afternoons (Around 3PM UK Time). Not only do they show off cool stuff, answer your questions; they also do Giveaways. For example, during Bilge Tank 022, I answered a very simple question first and won myself a Raspberry Pi Zero pHat DAC Kit worth £30+Postage. Not only that but I’ve won quite a few freebies from these guys in the past and they offer decent prices with frequent store-wide discounts!

Previously, I’d have simply pointed someone to this AdaFruit Article as the Kernel Modules weren’t included in the stock kernel.
Not the case anymore, as the Kernel GitHub Repository currently has all the changes needed for USB Gadget Mode to function.

The initial plan was to develop further bridges but since a lot of the community were already focussing efforts there, the Matrix.org team set me alternate tasks I could choose from. I was given the task to develop a way for Matrix to be indexable by search engines, as Riot.im is a really heavy React application that is not crawler friendly, so a client which had no client side scripting was desired. I was also tasked with squashing bugs and some substantial changes or fixes in riot-web, outlined below. The reason this was needed is that riot-web (riot.im) is a very heavy React web application, and the Google crawler simply is unable to index it.
