Jabboratory has its own website at Codeberg pages now 🎉
jabboratory.codeberg.page/

Jabboratory is a safe space that develops XMPP and the Jabber network.

We do:
- write XMPP protocols, UI/UX guidelines, implementation guidelines
- Help XMPP implementations socially and technically, old and new
- involve, empower and remove any roadblocks for people to have their voice heard and directly change things in implementations they use or servers
- improve the Jabber network culture
and a lot more..

Our tech-free lounge is open to anyone that wants to be part of the conversation 😃

Totgesagt? Keineswegs. Rund um Jabber (XMPP) gibt es nach wie vor eine erstaunlich engagierte Community. Der Digital Independence Day hat ordentlich Bewegung reingebracht: Innerhalb nur einer Woche entstanden Info-Folder in drei Sprachen – komplett layoutet von @digitalcourage. Deutsch und Englisch wurden noch rechtzeitig zur FOSDEM gedruckt, Französisch folgte als PDF. Ja, ein paar kleine Fehler sind noch drin – Version 2 kommt asap. Die Folder gibt’s im Digitalcourage-Shop: shop.digitalcourage.de

The only relevant feature for any instant messaging app (or social app, for that matter) is: Are my friends using it? People will gladly overlook minor inconsistencies or missing features as long as they can communicate with their friends. We shouldn’t recommend #Signal as a stepping stone before Jabber/XMPP becomes "good enough," if goodness is defined by the number of people using it.

I’m getting a ton of spam on Mastodon. On the Jabber/XMPP side of things, we are doing a lot behind the scenes to combat it that regular users might not even notice.

I hope the people behind the scenes of Mastodon are working on similar things.

Announcing Jabboratory, a partner collective of @joinjabber
Jabboratory aims to be for the people who already have an XMPP account and want to help improve XMPP and the Jabber network.

We use the same CoC as JoinJabber and all the same governance documents. All of them being by Vojkruco codeberg.org/Vojkruco/Cooperat
 and we are hosted under the Vojkruco umbrella.

Some of the things we do are:
- specifications (called XCSPs in Jabboratory),
- developer help/documentation and implementation collaboration
- improve XMPP/Jabber network socially (safer spaces, blocklists, outreach, organizing events, pushing for a better non-tech culture, etc.)
or anything else that includes improving XMPP and Jabber network as a whole.

We aim for diversity of ideas, include people directly in all aspects of decision making (protocol, implementations, social, etc.) and build a space where people feel safe to talk, ask for help, bring up any kind of ideas and work with others to implement said ideas. By the community for the community with inclusive decision making to serve the people affected.

you are welcome to join our lounge room here -> invite.joinjabber.org/#lounge@

It is strictly non-tech because we aim for inclusivity, but we do of course have other channels some of them being tech related🙂

We already have some implementations, servers, and XMPP collectives involved (including JoinJabber) and we are all building a better XMPP and Jabber network together 🙂

Happy Jabber Day 🎂 đŸ„ł

On January 4, 1999, Jabber was first announced to the publicÂč.

Twenty-seven years later, Jabber—or XMPP, as it became known after standardization through the #IETF—remains the only truly vendor-independent, federated instant messaging platform.

In almost three decades, XMPP has never stopped evolving and remains our best tool for digital independence.

I think you are 100% correct on your assumption: it won't move the needle at all

But, personally, I fail to see how that's a good reason enough not to follow that path and drastically reduce the amount of metadata as any step on that direction can only bring beneficial results for the whole ecosystem regardless of the impact on the adoption rate.

As a matter of fact, at least 3 of the points you described on your technical details should probably be already implemented.

#XMPP #Jabber


I think #XMPP has a relatively clear and achievable path to drastically reduce the amount of metadata, but I’m increasingly worried that it is not going to move the needle in terms of adoption.

For 99.99% of people, the only relevant feature for an instant messenger is simply 'Are my friends using it?' The other 0.01% are equally divided between people who already use XMPP and don’t mind the metadata, and people who won’t use it anyway.

What's the current state of XMPP and OpenID Connect? My web search returned that ejabberd is still considering if and how to implement and Prosody has experimental alpha-stage support via a module. I couldn't find anything conclusive in regards to XMPP clients. What's with Gajim(?) and Conversations? Or other clients? Are there any web clients supporting OIDC?

#jabber #xmpp #oidc #openidconnect


@daniel

Ja, @mailbox_org nutzt meines Wissens einen sieben Jahre alten #ejabberd. Möchte nicht wissen, wie viele lÀngst gelöste Bugs da drin sind, schlimmstenfalls auch #security bugs.

#aTalk kenne ich vom Namen her, aber ich kenne niemanden, der diesen #Jabber client nutzt. D.h. es wird vielleicht etwas schwieriger dafĂŒr Hilfe zu kriegen.

Bei Matrix ist es auch so: Manche clients funktionieren nicht mit manchen servers đŸ€·


Ich habe den Eindruck, dass Matrix weitaus problemloser lÀuft als XMPP.

Bei XMPP kann sich nicht jeder Client an jedem Server anmelden (ich habe diverse Clients und Server, nicht nur meinen eigenen mit ejabberd, getestet). Und auch die Kommunikation zwischen zwei Accounts funktioniert manchmal gar nicht, manchmal nur in eine Richtung und irgendwie nur selten problemlos. Auch da wieder stark abhÀngig vom Client.

Ein Problem mit meinem Server mag sein, dass er unter einer Subdomain (xmpp.example.com) lĂ€uft. Ich mutmaße, dass nicht jeder Server bzw. Client damit zurechtkommt. Zwischen meinem Server und dem von Mailbox.org klappt jedenfalls gar nichts. Aber ich habe noch nicht einmal eine Möglichkeit gefunden, fĂŒr Mailbox.org einen andeten Client als deren Web-Client zu verwenden. Ich glaube fast, die sind nur zu sich selbst kompatibel.

Manche sagen freilich auch, dass ejabberd recht eigenwillig sei.

Mit Matrix hingegen hatte ich bisher keine Probleme (auch da habe ich einen eigenen Server am Start).

Day 2 of the Hackathon went great. Marvin (@larma) helped me implement an opt-in feature in #Conversations_im which routes all P2P sessions (calls and files transfers) via the users home server (similar to the feature found in Signal).

I went on a nice walk to a viewpoint on Mount Royal afterwards.

Now looking forward to Day 1 of #IETF124.
