New progress note available (after 3 years during which I posted here on ActivityPub instead of on the blog):

https://www.goffi.org/id/libervia-progress-note-2026-w16-ooph

I'm talking about current work on installation/configuration simplification and the new forge, focus on web frontend and redesign and work done with current metadata reduction and serverless XMPP (Tor, contacts e2ee, new pubsub implementation).

I've just pushed a new pubsub implementation (basically a reimplementation of SàT/Libervia Pubsub on top of Libervia Backend).

May not sound exciting like that, but it's a major thing for many reasons, I hope that I can find time to blog about that tomorrow.

Also it implements XEP-0496 (Pubsub Node Relationships) and XEP-0499 (Pubsub Extended Discovery) which means node hierarchy, useful for things like forums.

This is context of https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/

For Twisted/XMPP developers: I've published Tx-XMPP, a (friendly) fork of Wokkel due to it being unmaintained for years. I've merged several PRs that I needed, along with code from `sat_tmp`, which was a "temporary" package to monkey-patch Wokkel to add those changes (finally not needed anymore after 11+ years!).

https://pypi.org/project/tx-xmpp/

I will provide minimal maintenance to keep it up-to-date with the latest versions of Twisted and Python.

OK so e2ee contact are implemented in Libervia, only in the CLI for now. Here are 2 screenshots:

- in the first one contacts are retrieved and rendered for the terminal. We can see contacts and groups IDs and that they are encrypted (which is optional but default).

- in the second one we see what is stored on the PEP service, so what your XMPP server admins can see, an encrypted blob.

This is highly experimental.

It will be time to prove that Libervia is not the Hurd of XMPP 😀

Soon, soon.

I'm finishing the implementation of contacts e2e encryption. This has been done in the context of the serverless metadata reduction grant (https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/). As the name implies, it let you encrypt metadata on your contacts (name, groups, description), but can also be used to extend roster metadata.

On other fronts, we have talked about sealed sender at last summit (notably @daniel) and @mathieui made a great suggestion about onion routing in XMPP.

Quick note: I’ve been quiet lately first because I was sick during FOSDEM and the following week, and secondly because I’ve been working hard to make Libervia’s installation and configuration easier, along with other improvements (I’ve notably worked on the forge). I hope to be able to talk about all that as soon as next week.

Folks I finally start to feel better. You still have a chance to meet me at the XMPP realtime lounge (aw1) to discuss about Libervia, SFU based video calls, XMPP forums, ActivityPub gateway, etc.

#XMPP #Fosdem #Libervia #fosdem2026

I'm at FOSDEM but I'm sick. I'm still able to show you a quick demo of Libervia if you ask, or talk about the possibilities. I'll probably leave early to rest and hopefully be in a better state tomorrow. Anyway meet me and the rest of XMPP folks in our new location in AW1 (real-time lounge).
