Let's talk about Movim, and about the XMPP Summit!

This time, we will talk about Movim (the "kick ass social network"!), and about the latest XMPP Summit, which took place in Brussels a few weeks ago. Hope to see you all on Monday!

Language will probably be English or German. Or Volapük. Let's see.

Help translate Movim!

If you know English plus another language, this is for you! Please help with the translation of Movim at its translation page. At the moment German and French are almost complete, no help needed now. The following languages are nearing completion (≥¾), so this might be the perfect moment to achieve 100% without having to work much:

Russian, Norwegian Bokmål (Norway), Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (China), Polish, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, and Danish.

Of course, all other languages are welcome, too! This is your chance to participate in free software, open source, and federation, without having to be a programmer :~)

(Btw. I never worked with transifex myself, so please do not ask me about it.)

What is Movim anyway? It is a free software, federated, social network, but very differerent from Diaspora, based on the XMPP standard. You can try it e.g. here or check the more or less up-to-date pod list.

Movim migrates its official server to ejabberd

Movim is a distributed social networking platform founded in 2010. It can be accessed using existing XMPP clients and Jabber accounts, and is a free and open source software licensed under the AGPL.

With version 0.12 released in October, Movim migrated its official server to ejabberd. Before, they were using Metronome, a Prosody fork. Today, we are chatting with Timothée Jaussoin, the founder of Movim, about this very complex migration.
...
We now have a proper packaging for our Linux distribution – Debian, which certainly makes it easier to maintain. There’s also an improved scalability and more stable CPU and memory consumption, which helps to predict hardware requirements.
...
Even if I see ejabberd more as a tool that needs integration and tuning to create a proper platform, ejabberd seems to be the more serious solution to build proper messaging systems using the XMPP protocol.

Federated XMPP chat (and more) with Movim: A success story

There are many reasons to be unhappy with current social media sites and chat applications. For a long time, there was no viable alternative, especially not, if you wanted usability and integration. Now there is hope, with Movim.
The downsides of OSNs
Online Social Networks, such as Facebook or Go

Jappix no longer maintained

I just found this commit:Notice: the Jappix project is no longer maintained. We still accept PR (Pull Requests) though.Bad news, but it is free software, so other people may take over. And there are other XMPP based social networks, too, e.g. Movim and Salut à toi. #jappix #xmpp #movim #salutatoi

No longer maintained · jappix/jappix@941df95

Signed-off-by: Valerian Saliou <valerian@valeriansaliou.name>

Has anybody experience with #salutatoi or #libervia? (Or with #movim or #jappix?) Looks very promising, but it seems, that there are not many public servers around, or am I wrong?

(For those who do not knowing, what I’m talking about: It’s about free, federated social networks, based on XMPP.)
