That's different from server software (e.g. Synapse, Conduit,…)

Tentative Definition

A Matrix distribution is a collection of software related to Matrix that are deployed and automatically configured to work together. The software deployed needs to be able to join and participate in the public federation if the administrator configures it for this purpose.

Existing distributions

Aha that raises interesting points. Is bundesmessenger something most orgs could decide to deploy? Does it have docs in english? Any docs and pointers welcome here :)

iirc last I checked, technically anyone could deploy it (though you'd need small changes e.g. to use the apps because they have allowlist for bundesmessenger member organizations). It isn't technically a fully standard matrix setup in that sense I guess. https://gitlab.opencode.de/bwi/bundesmessenger/backend/helm-chart I don't think it has docs beyond the German ones, but ftr I don't think that should be an exclusion critirion.

Even though slightly modified form upstream projects, I think it's a valid distribution in the same sense that linux distros may contain patches to the kernel.

Another distro in that sense would be Germany's openDesk productivite suite which includes also matrix.
