@AugierLe42e @codimp ça c'est des idées reçues régulièrement debunkées. Les XEP sont une grande force du protocole, et il y a d'excellents système pour s'adapter. Matrix a lui même fortement attaqué la dessus, et on voit où Illes en sont (en dehors du client officiel, quels sont les clients qui suivent au niveau des fonctionnalités ?).

Ce genre de système d'extensions et de besoin de s'adapter est d'ailleurs très courant dans l'informatique (suffit de regarder les technos web).

@marud @codimp Matrix a très longtemps utilisé Jitsi pour les appels de groupe qui utilise… XMPP. Illes ont maintenant leur propre solution il me semble, mais ça n'est pas très vieux. Donc oui les appels de groupe sont possibles avec XMPP. Niveau clients actuels il y en quelques un qui supportent les appels en petits groupes (MESH) et peu c'est vrai qui supportent les appels en plus grand nombre (SFU). Pour info je travaille sur un client qui implémente les 2 (mais pas prêt pour la production).

@debacle @farooqkz @treefit we have already shared TODO list based on Pubsub in XMPP, it's implemented in Libervia. Using a JS blob instead is a huge regression, the point of having standards is to avoid this. That said, webxdc is neat and I plan to implement it. It's notably nice for games, and few other cases.

@debacle @farooqkz @treefit the virtual machine with the network stack working between chat members can have its use (at least it's fun).

@passageenseine Je n'avais aucune idée de tout ce qu'il se passait en coulisse. Courage et force à vous tou·te·s. En tout cas merci pour ce que vous avez fait et de m'avoir permis de faire des conférences plusieurs fois. PSES est un événement à part, et c'est très triste s'il s'arrête ici. Le plus important est de se préserver.

Prenez soin de vous.

@codeDude @tk there is a server part too on semi-anonymous rooms, the server must support https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0421.html to avoid impersonation.

@jcast @9x0rg we have a good discovery mechanism, implementing OMEMO:2 doesn't break compatibility with other clients at all (Libervia that I maintain do implements both, as well as OX, and stays compatible with other clients).

The only thing that would make it incompatible is encryption by default to OMEMO:2, but nothing prevents to stay on OLDMEMO by default during transition.

But it is works to do the implementation, and client developers are all overwhelmed, that's the main issue.

📣 Actuellement à Paris, on se retrouve demain au salon Open Source Experience au village du libre pour parler de Libervia et XMPP!

@bsky.brid.gy Or is this Bridgy Fed a thing independent from Bluesky? Why is this needed at all?

#bridgyfed #bluesky

I'm followed by my first (I think) Bluesky user, and a bot account (@bsky.brid.gy) asked me to follow it to make a bridge to make following work, as I've understood.

Can anybody explain to me why this is necessary and why the normal ActivityPub protocol is not used instead?

@smallcircles @rakoo @hrefna we have been shortly in touch after FOSDEM as I've implemented a decentralized forge based on XMPP, and they wanted to use XMPP too. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to follow up closely.

#FOSDEM #XMPP #Ayllu #Libervia

@smallcircles @rakoo @hrefna Nothing goes as far as Libervia, but Movim is doing (micro)blogging too, Audio/Video calls are getting popular again, and we see from time to time projects such as https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Rivista or https://ayllu-forge.org/ #Libervia #Movim #XMPP

@smallcircles @rakoo @hrefna Libervia (I'm the lead dev) is going far beyond IM with XMPP: https://libervia.org/ . See also my talk at Fosdem on this topic: https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/xmpp_beyond_im/ #xmpp #libervia

Notice: I'm taking a few weeks' break from the weekly videos on #Libervia. I'll restart around mid-August.

📣 I've set up a 📹 #PeerTube instance for #Libervia at https://videos.libervia.org/ 📺 Expect weekly videos on feature presentations, tutorials, and more!

Happy to announce that I've got an extension on my current #NLnet A/V grant for #Libervia to work on S.F.U. (Selective Forwarding Unit), it's a service needed for large A/V conference rooms, à la #Jitsi.

However, the delay is really short (hard deadline in August), so lot of work planned in coming weeks.

It will be based on #Galène and parts will be available for whole #XMPP ecosystem.

Thanks again to #NLnet and @EUCommission #NGIAssure for their support.

I'm testing #PeerTube after a while for light integration with #Libervia and really pleased with what I see! Clean UI, lots of features, easy to use - great work by @Chocobozzz, @Framasoft, and the entire contributing team. Plus, there are a ton of plugins available! I'll be exploring the API to see if deeper integration is possible, it would be neat. #selfhosted #XMPP #videos

@zsoltsandor @Mastodon @movim FYI I've built an #XMPP <=> #ActivityPub gateway thanks to a #NLnet grant: https://nlnet.nl/project/Libervia/ . It's compatible with #Movim.

It's mostly done but still in dev version because I'm overwhelmed with work. It should be released hopefully in coming weeks.

@guusdk @jcbrand @claude

The #ActivityPub gateway is a server component that can work with any #XMPP server or client, not only #Libervia .

About the status, it's working. I have 2 more things to do before the release:

- HTTP signature for GET requests (it's only done for POST requests right now), which will make it compatible with secure mode of other implementations.

- Use per-user encryption keys. For now it's one for the whole instance.

Both things are easy to do, I just need some time.

🚀 Just pushed the #WebRTC Data Channel Signaling implementation to #Libervia! In this case, it features a different workflow compared to usual Jingle File Transfer methods, with separate browser and #GStreamer implementations 💻

It's a great addition, allowing direct P2P file sending (where possible) from any device to any other one (like a CLI/Desktop frontend sending files directly to a remote browser). I look forward to enhancing the UI/UX! #NLnet #XMPP #PeerToPeer 🌐
