Re: Matrix communication protocol.

2020-08-04 Thread Msavoritias
   My only issues is not the two that you mention. We have also:
   1. No coherent Standard so everybody can have the same features.
   2. Not a lot of Clients.
   3. Not a lot of Clients that look decent.
   4. No communities.
   5. No threading.
   6. No Voice rooms like Discord.
   These are just some of the problems that I have. As I explained above
   Matrix is for groups mostly. And it is much more welcoming to newcomers
   than IRC or XMPP. or even Mailing lists for that matter.
   Well FSF has Wire as a high priority project. WHich is a straight for
   Profit Company unlike Matrix.
   Also I didn't know FSF was against companies. Their latest article is
   that being FLOSS doesn't mean no Companies.
   [1]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:High_Priority_Projects
   But you can already get involved in Matrix and developing the Spec.
   Isn't that what you mean?
   Well the IRC that we currently using has not encryption. So what
   exactly are comparing here?

 of both Conversations and ChatSecure are always in touch, and are

   standards committees/workgroups is a very important thing, specially if
   many are in favor of free/libre software or if the group itself has

 On mobile, there is only one functionnal Matrix client : Element.
 And it advocates for non free software, especially Google one.

   The references in my previous replies to this topic also agree with
   you. :)

 Have you ever read RMS ? Or listen to him ? Everyone should care
 about privacy, everyone should encrypt his communications. XMPP's
 modern encryption (known as OMEMO) is way more secure than
 Olm/Megolm (because it seems Vector thought that forward secrecy was
 an anti-feature lol).

   That is scary indeed.

Re: Matrix communication protocol.

2020-08-04 Thread Msavoritias
   Like what features are you missing in other clients?
   What do you mean Proprietary Software? Fluffy Chat is AGPL-3. Did you
   even search the clients I mentioned?
   Element is Apache-2. This is all Free Software.
   The encryption not being as good in Matrix it is known. And they are
   looking to upgrade it. See my previous message.
   But aside from that I see Matrix more as a IRC and Discord and Slack
   alternative. For groups.
   And what does it mean that Synapse is the most used now? Coversation is
   the most used Android Client.
   Does that mean that XMPP is not an open protocol and is only for
   Conversations?
   If you want to use Element they are open to changing the captca:
   [1]https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/3606
   If you don't want to like me there is fluffy chat which AGPL-3 and not
   Catpca.
   If you are talking about Desktop there are 6 clients to use one of them
   from Gnome.
   Plus even three terminal ones and one Emacs client.
   I have mentioned before the features:
   First a lot of clients which XMPP lacks.
   Second ease of use which XMPP lacks.
   Third stickers, threads, communities and other modern features that
   people expect for groups from Discord and the likes.
   Or Voice rooms even.
   Keep in mind that all of these and more are planned for Matrix. If you

 Third what I know is that Olm is based on Signal encryption. If you

   OMEMO is based on Signal encryption, known as Axolotl, and is audited

 Also Element is functional. Like Conversations. Just like other
 clients like Fluffy Chat and Dillo.

   Proprietary software is antifeature.

 Also I am not talking about Synapse. There are other servers to
 choose from. And the higher usage comes at the cost of features
 which XMPP lacks. Personally I find that acceptable.

   But Synapse is the most used.

 What do you mean about advocating Google? The youtube widget?

 I can't understand what do you mean. Conversations is developed by a

 app that evolves permanently has already shown all that could be
 shown ? Excuse me, but at this time there is no client for Matrix as
 functional as Conversations (since non free software usage or

   How is Matri not Free Software though? Apache-2 is Free Software by the
   FSF.
   Also this review fails to mention how Matrix has been growing this year
   expotentially.
   [1]https://www.hello-matrix.net/public_servers.php
   There are already a lot of servers and growing. Gnome and purism and
   Kde have their own instances outside of this too.
   Also here is the list of at least 5 servers alternative to synapse.
   [2]https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now
   Plus Matrix is working on p2p. So you won't need a server.
   [3]https://matrix.org/blog/posts#dept-of-p2p-
   Also the encryption has been through security audits:

   I'm not arguing that it is better than Omemo. But it is good encryption

While I may not have a big success or failure story, I also agree with
you on the issue of network effect. In [1] there are references which
can also interest other people in regards to this, although the page
text is more tailored in favor of XMPP, not explicitly related to
free/libre software.

If they gave you such an answer, then one other question is needed:

With which department your attempts were directed to?

If it was the one responsible for all decisions in the organization,
then I do agree that they are either misinformed or afraid of something.

However, if you instead attempted to convince people from departments
bellow the decision-making one, then the observations you made are
likely to repeat, specially in cases related to work hours. This is
because when people commit to the role of employees, they tend to
express submission to someone else, the employer. So, during work hours
the entity they represent is no longer their own, but the employer's. Of
course they can diverge from the orders of their superior but in some
countries this is a possible reason for justified dismissal.

Cleaning a stair from bottom to top tends to be difficult, the best
course of action would be participating in the meetings related to the
decision-making department and find a way to both have a time to speak
there and present the ideas of free/libre software movement the best way
you can.

During the presentation, if you don't have/can't find an answer to "what
software to use as replacement for X?" or "does feature Y exist?", look
no further, emphasize the importance of the freedoms of the software for
the organization, be it hiring other people to host/develop/improve a
replacement or making the organization doing so).

What can be drawn from the paragraph above is that free/libre software
doesn't necessarily mean "do/host it yourself". With a good contract you
have a chance to both foster free/libre software and the local economy.
The details of *where* things will be hosted is outside the scope of
this message. In terms of what wording and how to evaluate if a contract
is being respected, only in regards to the freedom of the software, I
think Software Freedom Conservancy, Software Freedom Law Center and
perhaps FSF and it's sister organizations might be able to help. The
initiative to contact them must of course come from the organization.

Departing from the employment scenario, there is a third possible cause
for the observations you made, that is when a company hires a person
either as autonomous worker or as a freelancer. In this case the worker
seems to have lost an opportunity to demand better work conditions
*before* signing the contract. This is because for countries which
accept these work regimes, the worker is not an employee and can set
demands independently from the organization's policies.

Unfortunately it was not a GNU Guix System installation.  The base
system was a Debian Buster installation (without the `non-free' and
`contrib' repos), and everything set up on top of it, with fairly
standard setups, following the installation instructions of those pieces
of software.  I'd be happy to discuss more off-list if you'd like to.

Recommendations of LMS

2020-08-04 Thread Jonathan Sandoval
Hi everyone,

I'm still unsure about the topics of this list. I hope my question is
valid.

I'm a volunteer for a community process in a city of Colombia. We're
promoting art, culture, technology and science. We've got some donated
old computers and started to install them with Trisquel. That was
pre-covid. Now, our activities are virtual and we're trying to use libre
software as much as possible (Jitsi Meet for our meetings, BigBlueButton
for our educational activities, a mailing list with sympa, Nextcloud for
filesharing, and so on).

We have teachers (volunteers as me) for guitar, dance, theather, a
science club, and I proposed them we could use a learning management
system like Moodle or Canvas. They are creating stuff like videos,
images, etc. and I thought it would be a good idea to use a LMS for
structure of a course.

So, my question is: what LMS that respects freedom would you
recommend?. I've worked in the past with Moodle and installed it for
some schools and universities. I've seen Canvas LMS is very interesting
too. Any recommendation?, or maybe, any trouble with these mentioned
options?.

Thanks in advance.
And sorry for my english. As I mentioned, I'm a native spanish speaker.

Indeed, in open standards, people and projects being members of the
standards committees/workgroups is a very important thing, specially if
many are in favor of free/libre software or if the group itself has that
commitment or is a non-profit, preferably a charity.

The references in my previous replies to this topic also agree with you. :)

That is scary indeed.

And with this I contribute referencing to [1].

Great work on fostering JMP.chat, I also make a similar recommendation
(also citing JMP.chat) in [1].

From the messages so far I can see that "missing features" that
Msavoritias mentioned so far are the ones described in the sections to
follow. However, if there is something else missing, please describe it.


# [ ] Sticker XEP/standard


For this I request that all parties interested contribute to [1] so that
it either becomes a XEP or is implemented using existing ones like what
is described in the issue's comments.


# [?] Widget implementations


If what Msavoritias refers to is a persistent notification showing how
many of your accounts are connected then go to Conversations
(eu.siacs.conversations), "Settings", under "Advanced" check
"Active/enable service".

However, if Msavoritias means any widget that stays in the
"desktop"/"start area" of the phone's screen, that depends on what
Msavoritias wants the widget to do, since no mobile operating systems
standardizes what types of widgets must be supported. In this sense,
Conversations (again, eu.siacs.conversations) has a 1 * 1 widget that
you can associate a contact to and it will behave as a shortcut to talk
to that address provided you are connected and have that person in the
contact list inside the XMPP account with which you are connected.
