#Monal is taking part in this year's #GSoC (google summer of code). There are already lots of interesting project proposals over here: wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summe…
If you can write code and always wanted to take part in #GSoC, we'd love to have you on board!
Just pick a proposal or suggest your own project idea and simply drol us an email to info@monal-im.org
We are happy to announce the immediate availability of a new version of the MUC Real-Time Block List plugin for #Openfire, our cross-platform real-time collaboration server based on the #XMPP protocol! This plugin can help you moderate your chat rooms, especially when your service is part of a larger network of federated XMPP domains.

@michal Pro #AndroidOS + #XMPP doporučuju #Monocles, je to fork Conversations, skvělý a intuitivní průvodce každého nového kroku, end-to-end šifrování je tam default, a další vylepšení. Zcela jednoduché používání. Mimoto doporučuju #FDroid jako svobodnou alternativu ke Google Play. f-droid.org/packages/de.monocl…
Gajim 1.7.2 has been released 🚀 This release brings many bug fixes and some useful improvements. Gajim now allows you to delete messages from your local chat history (in case of nasty spam messages). Furthermore, detection of WAV audio files has been improved and you can now click the waveform to skip to a specific timestamp within a voice message. Thank you for all your contributions!

People from JoinJabber are going to be present at the JDLL conference in Lyon, France, on April 1-2. Here's a preview of a newly made flyer for #JoinJabber! (To be translated into French) #xmpp
Few of my friends decided to leave the Facebook and it's Messenger or Whatsapp apps. 👍 But they also decided to move to other proprietary and closed software like Signal.👎 Please if you make this brave decision, choose wisely. Something decentralized and open like #XMPP or #Matrix. 🙏 These are not apps, these are protocols witch many apps can use. You can than choose app you like. For example on Andorid there is Conversations or Snikket for xmpp, or Element for Matrix...
They're a collective trying to get XMPP to a wider audience by improving the user experience, and they have a website that helps non-techy people to sign up:
This is really nice to see, there's so much potential in XMPP as an alternative to Whatsapp etc.
It's really easy to use XMPP once you've got set up, but finding a well-run well-maintained server, and finding a good regularly updated app, have historically been more difficult and scary than they needed to be.
Looks like JoinJabber are doing something about it! 😃
#xmpp represented by the #xsf foundation attended today a workshop for interoperability between all messaging services including whatsapp and facebook messenger. All thanks to an eu law that will come into effect soon. Excited to see #xmpp being at the front on innovation. competition-policy.ec.europa.e…
Today I learned that when you "edit" or "correct" a message in #XMPP, the original message is still technically stored on the server or device. It's the client side that understands that the new message is an edit of the previous message, and "displays" it as such. But, if you send a password or something sensitive, "editing" the message after it has been sent might not remove the actual contents of the original version of the message, so make sure you use #encryption too.
After the recent website redesign, we're happy to announce that we've made it possible to translate the website via Weblate!
Reaching out to a non-technical crowd is important to us.
Yeah not sure if the resources would be low enough for a server to handle that. I have heard already that the a mastodon server is pretty big. Probably something like #xmpp would be bedter suited.
Canchat.org is a free and open #XMPP provider located in Canada. Our goal is to provide secure and encrypted communication to anybody who might need it. Check us out at canchat.org 👍
pour moi la légèreté de #xmpp est son atout majeur face à matrix. En ces temps où il serait de bon ton de réduire l'énergie qu'on dépense, ça me semble important.
Gajim 1.7.1 brings improved KeepassXC integration, better defaults for group chats created with ejabberd, and some important bug fixes. Thank you for all your contributions!
Thanks to Trung, a cool dude, #slidge now has a logo! It's a pretty awesome feeling to receive contributions to a software I started and put out there for others to use. #xmpp His website: trung.fun/
We might not have an incentive to do a blog post on every single institution that uses #XMPP but #Conversations_im seems to be doing its job at the German Federal Police.
We've recently opened #Jabber / #XMPP support channels for end-users and for server operators! chat.joinjabber.org/#/guest?jo… and chat.joinjabber.org/#/guest?jo…. Members of the community will be happy to help you with your technical issues and setting up your server for the first time respectively!
We had a great time at #FOSDEM! If you came to see @mattj and @zash from the Prosody team at the Real-time Lounge area, it was nice to meet you! If not, maybe we'll catch you next year :)
As well as @mattj's talk about FAST auth in Prosody, also check out Saúl's talk about how the #Jitsi team used #Prosody and #XMPP to scale video conferences to over 10000 participants. The recording is now online: fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event…
Today I discovered #Quicksy. It's a spin-off of the #XMPP app "Conversations(.)im", developed by the same people, but designed with ease of use in mind. It actually links with and uses your phone number to sign in so it's easy to on-board new users, and easy for new users to find people in their contacts list that already use it. But, it is just a standard XMPP client, so it is still capable of communicating back and forth with people on other XMPP / #Jabber servers.
A spin-off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client Conversations with automatic contact discovery. Sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you.
