An introduction to audio/video calls with XMPP

I’m delighted to announce that the OpenPGP implementation in #Conversations_im will see some love over the next ~6 months. Simultaneously, we will be laying the groundwork for OMEMO2 by implementing Stanza Content Encryption.
Thanks to funding from @nlnet and the European Commission.
Now #jabberEl 0.10.3 (the one with #OMEMO etc.) is in #Debian #experimental. If everything goes well, an upload to #unstable will follow soon.
#Jabber.el is living #XMPP and #freeSoftware #history, just like #Gajim by @gajim. Both started around the same time. The initial commit of Gajim was 2003-10-22, while jabber.els was 2003-12-15.
#Emacs, of course, goes back to the early 1980s.
Just fresh out of the oven, release 0.16.1 of the poezio TUI XMPP client!
Mostly fixes and internal stuff, but also adds the ability to see redacted/moderated messages if you wish so – particularly useful if you are the one moderating –.
Rssguard: Feed reader now also with XMPP pubsub support
Oh, je viens de voir une nouvelle version de Grammalecte en mettant mon Arch à jour, et je vois sur le site que le projet est repris (par Algoo): https://www.grammalecte.net/ . j'avais complètement raté l'annonce sur DLFP : https://linuxfr.org/users/or/journaux/grammalecte-v2-3
Grammalecte est un projet fantastique pour tou·te·s les francophones, un grand merci à Olivier pour tout le boulot jusqu'ici et à Algoo pour reprendre le flambeau !

Quietly slipped in today: the XSF has published a new XEP - XEP-0512 - which I had the pleasure of authoring.
It's a small step, but one that opens up some interesting directions for #XMPP implementations. Curious to see where people take it from here.
Il y a quand même un truc qui me gène énormément quand je vois des libristes conseiller Signal, c'est que même si on passe le fait que c'est centralisé et basé aux États-Unis, c'est ouvertement hostile aux clients alternatifs utilisant leur serveurs (ce qui rend l'intérêt de faire un client alternatif quasi nul), cf. LibreSignal.
Pas sûr que les passerelles soient super bien vues non plus.
Alors bien sûr je ne suis pas neutre du tout (très impliqué avec XMPP).
I released yesterday version 0.16 of Poezio, a terminal XMPP client, here is the blog post with a release announcement: https://blog.mathieui.net/poezio-0-16.html
Some nice bugfixes (thanks @ge0rg for testing), and finally handling of message moderation & retraction.
Note: the fact that we very often share version numbers with @profanity is a pure coincidence!
