zinid> Other alternatives, such as Telegram, Slack and Discord, although feature-rich, are centralized and built around closed-source technologies and offer even less control than IRC.
Pretending XMPP doesn't exist
zinidbtw, they used to have an XMPP server
SeveMy first or second account was on their server
SeveThey kind of ignored me when I tried to approach them, so this does not surprise me
SeveSad news in my opinion but it is up to them in the end
zinidI personally don't care, KDE is not representative
!xsf_MartinWhat is a KDE?
SeveI made this table with help from others here https://github.com/SeveFP/KDE_IM_Requirements/wiki/XMPP-Table and sent it to them and try to see if we could do something together but they didn't show any interest on it
Sevewhen they announced they wanted to move to some solution
GuusLet's try to focus on increasing our exposure, instead of discussing the exposure of Matrix. Let's learn from what they do right.
Guus(That's actually a nice table, Seve!)
goffiGuus: they have money
goffiI mean, we could have polished UIs if more people were working full time on XMPP
GuusGoffi: given that there are _several_ commercial providers of XMPP solutions: we have money too.
goffibut I know only 2 clients which can do this: Conversations and Converse, and both are only done by one people as far as I know.
GuusAnd there are ways to gain more money (we'll discuss this in upcoming board meetings too)
GuusTry to think of solutions, not of problems.
goffiyou need to know the problem to find a solution
GuusYou identified two recurring issues: lack of money (which I doubt we have, to be honest), and a need to improve UI / UX in our clients.
GuusI'll add a third one: we're not showing off enough of what we can do.
goffiwe have money in servers, not in clients.
Guus"not having money" is not a problem. It's something that prevents us from finding some easy solutions.
Guus"not having a good UI" is a problem.
Guuslet's worry about that.
GuusI've tried reaching out to OpenSourceDesign, where I need to to follow ups
GuusGe0rG et al. are making progress on UX guidelines
goffiGuus: it's link to being able to work full time. You need time to focus on polishing.
goffilinked*
Guusgoffi that helps, but isn't going to fix UI/UX things. You need expertise, too.
Guuswhere do we find these?
Guusdo we integrate our solutions at customers, where such expertise is available?
Guusmaybe we can ask for help there.
GuusWe have several pretty successful projects that are making money. Maybe we can start sharing experience on how to do that, so that more projects can reach that level.
neshtaxmpphas left
GuusWe can think of plenty of things that can be effective. That's way more stimulating that just being jealous at Matrix for "having money".
GuusI'm still convinced that the XMPP proposition is at least as good as Matrix's one. So with that in mind, we must be able to at least match what they're doing.
Guusbut we'll have to put in the effort.
GuusI'm going to visit a commercial org tomorrow, that I've met at FOSDEM. They expressed interest in stimulating XMPP. They offered to host a sprint, and they like to see the UX of the IOS clients to be improved. We'll discuss that tomorrow.
Guuslet's find more of these people, and reach out!
goffiGuus: who's jealous ? it's not about being jealous, it's about explaining why they have more polished UI and attraction.
pep.Guus, oh is that the one that we discussed with?
Guuslet's do more outreach - write more blog post, show off stuff that we _can_ do moar, better, faster.
Guusgoffi: so let's fix that. But I'm convinced that there's a level of jealousy in the XMPP community. In some MUCs, "matrix" is mentioned more than the topic of the MUC, which I think is such a shame.
Guuspep. the two guys who talked to you after your presentation, yes
goffiThere have been lot ot unfair attacks from Matrix community (and leaders) toward XMPP one, specially at the beginning (it's slightly better now), so there have been reactions to that. And it's important to know what going around in other protocols/software.
GuusCould someone help me get job postings at https://opensourcedesign.net/ for clients that want/need help from designers?
pep.I want help from them as a server operator, for now :x I need to post that someday
Guusplease, do!
zinidI agree with goffi - money is the problem
zinida few full time devs and you get your UI
zinidand we obviously don't have money, I don't understand why Guus said the opposite
!xsf_Martinhas left
!xsf_Martinhas joined
Guuszinid Money is not a problem, it offers a possible solution to a problem.
pep.We do critically lack resources
pep.At least in the public part of the community
Guusso, let's find resources.
zinidGuus, money is the obvious way to get human resources
zinidGuus, other methods have failed
zinidwe tried a lot of them in the past 15 years
Guusdon't get me wrong: I'm not saying that we should not try to get more money. That's why I put this (sponsoring, financing) on the agenda of the board again. But I am sure that we can find more ways to attack the problem.
pep.Guus, well that boils down to other people spending this money (time)
pep. s/other //
Guuspep. As XMPP is used pretty much everywhere, that must be possible to do.
pep.All the sprints we do are not free, for example, time, transportation, accomodations, that's all on our own. Even if at the end I'm happy to do it, that comes with a cost
wurstsalathas left
GuusI think the sprints are great to have, and I ❤ the people spending time/resources to make them happen!
GuusDo we have employers (or customers) that are somehow invested in XMPP, and have UI/UX employees that they can spare for a day per week?
neshtaxmpphas joined
Guuscommercial organizations do OSS sponsoring all the time. This could be one way of doing that.
zinid> spare for a day per week?
That's not how development works
zinidyou need some focus and dedication in order to produce something valuable
Guuszinid: then find a collaboration that works better.
pep.It's already better than nothing.
Guusbut in any case, 1 day per week is better than 0 days per week.
zinidI don't buy that argument honestly, I hear it a lot
Guusmy point is: let's try to find ways to pull in resources.
pep.And that's already how lots of the free software projects around here work
zinidwhat you can say is 1 > 0, that's it
Guuszinid please offer better solutions then!
GuusI'm open to anything
Guusas long as it's not "we don't have money so we're doomed"
debaclehas joined
goffiI'm working part time (80%), that mean that I have one day a week I pay on my own to work on my project, and I'm overwhelmed and have no time for now to work on UI polishing. I don't say we are doomed, but I say it's not sustainable on the long run without paid full time dev.
Guuspep. I'm interested in your reason for searching for UI/UX experts as a server operator. What exactly would you like to see improved there?
pep.See my wonderful design skills: https://cluxia.eu/
pep.I'd like to have a color theme / logo
pep.I have a few ideas, but no clue how to put that together
Guusthat seems like a solvable problem 🙂

Ge0rG> The requested page "/2019/02/20/kde-migrating-matrix" could not be found.
Looks like somebody pulled the plug
Ge0rGGuus: "we have money" is illusive, because we as the XSF have a complex process to access that money, and it is (rightfully) demanded that the money is spent in a fair and impartial way. We can't just throw 10k€ at improving Monal, even if we have consensus that we badly need a good iOS client, nor can we throw 10k€ at me implementing my favorite yaxim feature.

GuusGe0rG all true. On top of the XSF getting more money, I'd also like to set up a way for individual projects to share knowledge about making money for themselves.
GuusSome projects are more successful than others.
SeveWe for sure can help to promote crowdfunding campaigns though, if Monal has one, for example
GuusWe can learn from eachother there.

kokonoehas joined
Ge0rGGuus: what pep. said. We all have things on our TODO lists. But they always get overridden with higher-priority non-XMPP things.
Guusgoffi I'm also more thinking of sharing _techniques_ rather than _customers_
Ge0rGIronically, some of us might be able to invest more time if it were paid ;)
Guusto give a very practical example
Ge0rGSo does anyone have a cache of https://dot.kde.org/2019/02/20/kde-migrating-matrix - the page was removed :(
Guussomeone told me it'd be a good idea to have a 'professional services' section on the igniterealtime website, so that people that search for ways to spend money on Openfire, Smack, etc would find people willing to accept money.
Guuswe put up a very basic section: I've already been approached through that a couple of times in the last few weeks alone.
Ge0rGGuus: what do I need to do to get enlisted there?
Ge0rG...with my employer's hat on?
GuusGe0rG a credible link as a service provider of ignite-realtime related projects.
goffiGuus: could the XSF help to put people willing to spend money for service/feature reach people offering them? Like a dedicate page on XMPP.org?
Guus(who's your employer?)
Ge0rGGuus: https://rt-solutions.de/en/
Guusgoffi I don't know - we can consider it.
GuusGe0rG from a quick browse on the website, I'm not seeing obvious Openfire/Smack service providing offerings?
Ge0rGGuus: as a person, I'm heavily invested in Smack (and obviously experienced in XMPP as a whole), but there is no way to rent me out except via my employer.
Ge0rGGuus: the latter is expensive, and heavily targeted at German companies, but there is a market for that, and if you need some kind of page on our homepage about competent XMPP support (I'd prefer XMPP over specific Ignite projects if possible), I can probably make it happen.
GuusGe0rG the way that we've set up that page at IgniteRealtime, we expect that visitors of the 'professional support' page to be searching for very specific solutions / expertise. So, if you'd like to be listed there, I suggest you have a landing page at your employers site, that lists the (Smack-based) services that you can provide.
GuusI shared the IgniteRealtime "professional support" thingy as an example of how other OSS projects could also try to attract more money.
GuusI'm not saying that this is the only solution. goffi already suggested having something that's more XMPP-generic - which seems to suit you better.

goffiGuus: yes, I'm currently redoing the website so I can add this. But SàT itself was not ready so far to be used in production, it should be alright starting with the incoming release.
goffiWe've made a couple of strategic mistakes, starting by not doing the famous "release early, realease often"
Guusgoffi I have no experience with it, so I can't judge. One thing that I can say is that I am sometimes amazed at how people use pre-release, not-ready stuff in production anyway 🙂
pep.Wait, isn't that what production means? :)
Guuspep. you also deploy on Fridays, don't you?
pep.I deploy on weekends, even worse
goffiyes, that what one of my friend well aware of business stuff told me: you should not wait to have something bullet proof, nobody does.
Guusgoffi sounds like you have a friend that could offer ideas to more of the XMPP community!
zinid> zinid please offer better solutions then!
> I'm open to anything
> as long as it's not "we don't have money so we're doomed"
Guus: I have no solutions except money, and even that is not easy to collect and redistribute
Guusmaybe you should invite him to share ideas
Guuszinid I just shared an idea on how to make money. We can use more ideas like that.
goffiGuus: he already wrote interesting reads on his blog: https://blog.addictedtointer.net/2017/09/26/goodbye-cozy/
GuusI'll share another one. I've heard of several people in companies that would like to 'sponsor' an open source project that they're using, but setting up sponsoring through their corporate procedures is difficult (not standardized). What is, however, easy for them to do, is to buy a 'support contract'. So, OSS projects could start offering 'support contracts' with the idea that this really is just sponsoring.
GuusI'm currently not doing that, so I can't tell if it's effective - but again, it's somethign that you might consider for your project.

Ge0rGThere were six mails this year.
Ge0rGLunch is an awesome idea. BBL
pep.Or.. if you really want to kill that list, it's not impossible to have bulletin boards on XMPP, and goffi has a barebone implementation of one in SàT. Porting discourse to XMPP would be another idea.

GuusI think Flows Idea was to post replies to discourse, using XMPP

goffibut that's a point which is annoying me a bit, we have tools not perfect but usable and which can be easily improved, and community want to use non XMPP software instead. How can we promote XMPP if the community itself doesn't use it?

GuusWhat's the state of each of the XMPP IOS clients?
zinidquite bad
Guuswhat's lacking in clients, specifically
zinidChatSecure is abandoned and Monal has strange distribution policy and full of bugs
Guus_apart from money_ 😉
GuusChatSecure had a release last December?
zinidthat's what I'm told 🙂
Ge0rGGuus: maybe, but that release didn't fix some show stopper bugs. And general development seems to be down to yaxim speed
GuusWhat are the show stopper bugs?
Guusis someone in contact with their developers?
Guus(are they here?)
Ge0rGzinid: what's with the Monal distribution? The author fixed GDPR some months ago
jonas’there was something about OMEMO the other day
zinidGe0rG, he invented yet another problem recently
Ge0rGGuus: I've chatted with Chris some time ago, but he looks too busy to push forward
Ge0rGzinid: that's a problem invented by the French government, enforced by Apple...
zinidGe0rG, maybe
GuusGe0rG that's just one bug. That surely isn't stopping ChatSecure from being the Conversations equivalent on IOS?
Ge0rGAnd regarding bugs, yeah, Monal is very fresh. Don't use it for MUCs yet.
Ge0rGGuus: it's generally crappy, has a horrible backend store performance problem, doesn't quite get stream management right and is more abandoned than not. That bug is just my canary for a simple issue that's very annoying for users and easy to fix for a developer.
Ge0rGBut yeah, it's the Conversations equivalent on iOS! 🤣🤣
GuusWhat flavors do we have on IOS? ChatSecure, Monal, Beagle, ... ?
ziniddepends on flavors you prefer 🙂
GuusI'm primarily trying to see if there's one that's most likely to be pushed over the finish line
zinidMonal, seems like
zinidbut I'm not sure you can communicate with the author
Ge0rGthere is also Xabber, which looks like a prototype mockup

GuusHolger: please elaborate
HolgerGuus: Better than ChatSecure because (a) I didn't see it loose messages and (b) it has that VoIP flag that allows it to use silent notifications (unlike ChatSecure which produces "New message!" notifications). Still not good because bugs (duplicates and whatnot), UI is meh, and MUC still rudimentary as Ge0rG said.

the whole point of xmpp is standards, I don't see any points in inventing proprietary extensions, eventually you'll end up in supporting both: you proprietary wheel and the standard one

It's already implemented, working on server and one client, covered with tests, has nicknames, badges, history search, messages retraction, flexible system of permissions and restrictions, can work pretty well with legacy clients, can work if participants server does not support it, can work with multiple devices (seamlessly even if one client does support it and another does not)

My biggest issue with it was that it just doesn't work.
Ge0rGIt works much better than Xabber ios... 🤷♂️
moparisthebest"implemented on 1 client and server that work together" makes it better than MIX regardless of anything else
moparisthebestyou can go into endless discussions about whether MIX is superior protocol-wise, but none of that really matters when it seems like no one will ever implement both ends

Andrew NenakhovXabber for iOS is in pretty reliable state, and my Monal has never-ever received a push notification.
Ge0rGI've tested both, latest Testflight
Andrew NenakhovCan record you a video like right now of monal and Xabber running concurrently
Ge0rGXabber didn't even connect to my account, had to register one on the Xabber server

Andrew NenakhovGe0rG, store, 0357 supported
moparisthebestzinid, that's no problem if he plans to standardize it, you should submit it as a XEP as soon as you can Andrew Nenakhov
zinidalso, MIX will be released with ejabberd 19.02 next week, so "nobody implemented it" won't hold anymore
Andrew Nenakhovzinid, non standard extensions can very well become one.of course xsf can still pursue that dream of mix or whatever.
zinidAndrew Nenakhov: too late, mix will become a thing
Andrew NenakhovAnyway our group chats has pretty decent compatibility with any legacy client

moparisthebestzinid, which clients work with ejabberd 19.02 MIX ?

MattJzinid, but nobody can use it because you don't know if everyone else's server supports it

MattJflow, hmm?
flowMattJ, your response to zinids annoucement that ejabberd will support MIX
MattJI think it's fine (even good) for closed environments, custom clients, etc.
lovetox... i think he meant why you think that
flowI hope that I, using ejabberd, will be able to join a MIX at some other ejabberd once it is released and i've updated my ejabberd
lovetox:D
MattJflow, you will, of course
MattJBut you'll be alone :)
flowThen I hope that I am not nobody :)
MattJAs soon as you want to invite someone from another server, either their server or their client (or one of their clients) won't support MIX
flowRight, but I am willing to continue with that experiment
lovetoxdoes the other server need support?
lovetoxhonest question i didnt read all the XEPs yet
flowIt sure would be nice if a MUC successor wouldn't require home-server support
Ge0rGI'm so glad I demanded full muc compatibility back then.
MattJflow, please don't think that I'm not happy that people are experimenting, or implementing MIX
flowAnd maybe someone will come up with a solution that does not and that solution experiences high traction in means of implementations
Andrew Nenakhovflow, xabber gruop chat does not require home server support
MattJI'm glad that something is finally coming of all the work that has been put into it
MattJBut it doesn't change this simple fact that it is badly designed if we ever want to see it widely adopted on the network
MattJ(within the next 5-10 years)
Ge0rGMattJ [22:15]:
> But it doesn't change this simple fact that it is badly designed.
There, I fixed it.
flowAndrew Nenakhov, that is great, but I was told that the spec is only in russian? That maybe hurts adoption a bit outside the native speakers
MattJGe0rG, I don't think it's all that bad, but it made different design choices to MUC
valohas joined
flowMattJ, and by badly designed you mean the design as whole or the fact that it requires home server support?
MattJGe0rG, if you're developing certain kinds of closed group chat, I think it's pretty neat to have... compared to needing to implement all the problems MUC has for those environments
Ge0rGMattJ: I think the proxy JID "feature" is adding huge complexity for a very small user group.
MattJflow, mainly just the latter
flowThen that isn't bad design in my eyes. It is one of two possibly design choices with that regard, each with their pros and cons
Andrew Nenakhovflow, we just don't have time to translate it. And we planned to start translating once it's really final
flowI personally would make the same decission. But I would also encourage other approaches. Ultimately it is not the XEP, not the council but the ecosystem which determines the survivor
olixmpp => just amazing
MattJflow, please re-read what I wrote
MattJflow, I didn't say it was "bad design." I said it was "badly designed if we ever want to see it widely adopted on the network"
MattJI said in a later message that I think it is great for some use-cases
oliso we will have muc and mix and the xabber-stuff-which-is-the-best and some other upcoming alternatives, because mix is badly designed for wide adoption
flowMattJ, ah yes, ok, sorry, but I am also not sure about that. The implementation effort for MIX-PAM is manageable
Marandahas left
Marandahas joined
flowat least that is my impression
MattJflow, it's not just about implementation, it's about deployment
flowOk, but you have to deploy anything that is new, how is MIX different?
MattJBecause many of the problems with MUC can be solved in backwards-compatible ways
MattJwhich allows for progressively improving the experience, as users upgrade their clients, etc.
remkohas left
MattJAs it is right now, MUC will still be a fact of life for everyone until we reach some high percentage of MIX support in clients/servers in years to come
flowThat is probably true, and I fully support the efforts put into MUC.
goffihas left
flowYep, fully aggree (minus the timeframe)
MattJand if everyone is using MUC daily, because MIX is unusable for general-purpose chats, there isn't much to motivate developers (assume client developers) to maintain both MUC and MIX in their clients
flowIt could be 5+ years, could also be 2-3 years
MattJLet me know how you plan to upgrade all those Pidgin users who still don't have MAM :)
MattJwhich is a significant portion of the XMPP userbase, like it or not
flowapt remove pidgin
intosihas left
MattJIt doesn't work like that, but we all wish it did
MattJI spoke to multiple people at FOSDEM who directly went from Pidgin+XMPP -> Matrix
MattJbecause Pidgin was their experience of XMPP, and it was rubbish
flowNo yes, of course, but I am not arguing against MUC and MUC+, but for being adventurous and progressive regarding a new persistent groupchat protocol
MattJPidgin was an extremely popular client, most people who used XMPP "back in the day" used it, and don't keep up with modern client development like everyone in this room does
flowwhich may or may not be MIX
MattJThis room is a bubble in the XMPP sphere, trust me, out there it's Pidgin all the way
MattJ(ok, maybe I exaggerate a little here :) )
flowNo I trust you, I was also a pidgin user when I was in the computer room at my university
MattJBut you can't underestimate the deployed userbase. Except for group chats to be used only by XSF members, you're basically always going to have at least one occupant who isn't able to join a MIX room
MattJfor quite some time to come
MattJObviously the sooner we get the ball rolling with MIX, the sooner we can switch to it
flowThat is why I hope for multi protcol rooms
MattJWhich is why I'm glad it now has implementations
MattJYes, multi-protocol rooms will help somewhat
MattJBut if you can access every MIX room via MUC, and MUC is already implemented and compatible with every server... why maintain two group chat implementations in every client?
MattJIt's a hard sell if you ask me

flowOr for huge participant rooms where you often do not want pushes of every message, and only read the backlog when you open the window of the channel/room
MattJFor sure
MattJBut if over the next year we solve both those things for MUC...
flowThat is the point, I am not sure if they are solvable, or solvable in I way I would like
flowThere where a lot of improvements to MUC in the past years, but I could imagine that at some point there is just no more one could fix without either sacrificing backwards compatibility *or* really dirty hacks
oliyou only need one android, one ios and one cross platform desktop client
Andrew NenakhovMUC is based on flawed ideas and must be destroyed.
