Very excited to announce that NGI Data Portability and Services Incubator will be funding user account data export and migration in #Snikket and #XMPP! This project will give people more control over their data and ensure they are never locked into a specific XMPP provider. NGI4eu snikket.org/blog/dapsi-fun…

Familiar with Swift, UIKit, and know your way around XCode? Want to help advance the state of #XMPP on #iOS? We're looking for developers to help bring our iOS app over the finish line! This will be a paid short-term project producing FLOSS. Interested? Email [email protected] 👋

We've added and expanded a lot of questions on our FAQ page at snikket.org/faq/ Many thanks to @[email protected] for gathering the questions and putting together the bulk of the answers, and thanks to everyone who suggested questions! Missing anything? Let us know!

For you podcast fans! Snikket was featured and discussed in episode 89 of TuxJam, a podcast blending open-source software discussions and Creative Commons music. tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-89-crus… A nice surprise, and always great to hear real-world Snikket stories!

I just submitted the second XEP ("Moved 2.0") related my work on the #XMPP account migration project. Both this and the XEP-0227 update I submitted a few weeks ago are now going through the XMPP standards process. docs.modernxmpp.org/projects/porta… (1/2)

The next stage of the project is the exciting one! Over the next couple of months I will be working on implementing these new protocols, and producing the initial software to help people migrate their data between services. So thankful for the support of NGI Data Portability and Services Incubator! ❤️

Imagine this: The messaging 🗨 platform you use to connect with your family 👨‍👧‍👦and friends shuts down tomorrow. How do you secure your #data? Does this worry you? Then you must meet project XPORTA - #XMPP Account Portability! 👇 bit.ly/3fMVClP

🎉 Our #iOS app is finally public!🎉 snikket.org/blog/snikket-i… This is a huge milestone for the project and #XMPP. The app link will be added in the next server update (along with some other related fixes), but the blog has manual instructions for admins who just can't wait 🙂

🎉 New Snikket Android release is out on F-Droid and Google Play! Various fixes and improvements merged from Conversations, and a new in-call dialpad for navigating automated phone systems via bridges such as cheogram.com. New iOS app & server releases following soon!

Happy to announce the November 2021 release of the Snikket server! You can find a blog post with an overview of the release and links to upgrade instructions here: snikket.org/blog/nov-2021-…

A few people have asked privately so it's probably worth publicly reassuring: Snikket (and the software it builds upon) is *not* affected by the recent log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228), so your hosted and self-hosted Snikket instances are safe ✔️

Hot off the press! On Getting Things Done: A Conversation with Matthew Wild from Snikket. We helped improve the user experience of Snikket through a heuristic review, a user study, & several #UX design explorations. Find the interview on our blog: simplysecure.org/blog/on-gettin…

If you self-host a Snikket server, we released a security update today that you should be aware of... for more details check our blog post: stage.snikket.org/blog/snikket-j…
