XMPP Newsletter April 2021

Der #XMPP-Newsletter der #XSF für den April 2021 ist in deutscher Fassung bei uns auf dem #Anoxinon Blog erschienen!
Es gibt doch wieder ein paar Neuigkeiten im XMPP-Universum und es lohnt sich, mal einen Blick hinein zu werfen:

Familiar with Swift, UIKit, and know your way around XCode? Want to help advance the state of #XMPP on #iOS? 📱 We're looking for developers to help bring our iOS app over the finish line! 🏁

This will be a paid short-term project producing FLOSS. DM or email matthew@snikket.org if you're interested.

Not an iOS dev? That's okay, boosts appreciated too! 🙂

My #xmpp journey is over. I have installed #snikket via #docker (1st successful docker install ever). I ran into a few obstacles--getting a cert into the docker container via apache2 proxy pass was the hardest part--but now I have a working server & I sent a picture of a spider to my friend & that made me happy.

Seriously though, I'm impressed with snikket. They have a great vision for an accessible xmpp experience for both devs and users.

Next is #conversejs ...

Philipp Hörist (lovetox), maintainer of @gajim, gave a preview of the new Gajim 1.4 User Interface. Gajim is an XMPP client written in Python. It currently receives a big UI overhaul, of which the first results were presented at the #xmpp Office Hours.🎙️

Today's (2021-05-04) #XMPP Office Hours are a preview of the new UI and features in Gajim 1.4 by Philipp Hörist! They have been bumped back to 1700 UTC, so don't show up early! We hope to see you there! https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/XMPP_Office_Hours

... because #Debian is soooo fucking good!

Es ist live: Das Anoxinon Media Wiki

Im Anoxinon Media Wiki finden sich Infos zu den verschiedensten Vereinsthemen, übersichtlich gegliedert und sinnvoll aufbereitet.
Es soll schnelle Antworten rund um quelloffene Programme, datenschutzfreundliche Dienste und so weiter bieten und soll eine Ergänzung/Alternative zu den mit umfangreichen Hintergrundinfos angereicherten Blogartikeln sein.

Schaut doch mal rein!

Very excited to announce that #NGI DAPSI will be funding user account data export and migration in #Snikket and #XMPP! This project will give people more control over their data and ensure they are never locked into a specific XMPP provider.

💌 I like email. There is no expectation that it is answered quickly, so I can check it once a day, and only on workdays. It's good both for short answers and long-form discussions, with one person or many. It's federated and at least partially decentralised. There's a client serving all kinds of needs, from phones to the command line.

@gajim #gajim is an amazing #xmpp #chat #client that is awesome.

Vaxbot continues to grow
Our Vaxbot (vaccine.monal.im) has continued to grow. We just hit 8 million messages sent and send around 800,000 messages a day. XMPP and Vaxbot have been on TV news in Las Vegas and South Carolina, the radio in Washington as well newspapers all over the country. We mention XMPP and try to explain it as much as we can, some reporters do a better job than others.
