Target version:
Team - Q1/2020
Description
We should find a (free software) messaging solution, so we have an alternative to Telegram and IRC that hopefully suits everyone. Options so far (to be deployed for testing):
- Mattermost
- Rocket Chat
- Riot/Matrix
- Target version changed from Q1/2019 to Q2/2019
I know quite some work was done here already - can you summarize the status quo?
Deployed a [Matrix] federated instance on new Debian 9 VM vm221:
- Status changed from New to In Progress
Also in the March Infra call we agreed not to deploy our own (IRC etc.) bridges for now. Should the platform be adopted we'll reconsider.
I believe this is what Heiko reported that during the March 05 team
meeting, so same answer I gave there: while CAS login (Single Sign-On)
is part of the [Matrix] spec, not all clients implement the full spec
(yet). Just like other features, like end-to-end encryption. Third-party
clients, in particular, might be lagging behind.
Oh, sorry, seems I missed that part.
For riot-android I found this bug
https://github.com/vector-im/riot-android/issues/3025 , and these
release notes
https://github.com/vector-im/riot-android/releases/tag/v0.8.24 . Are you
using v0.8.24 or later?
0.9.1 from the Play store, released April 23.
As discussed in our in-person meeting in Munich, Sophie can out you in touch with people from the Matrix fork.
Also discussed there is to re-evaluate Nextcloud Talk.
I played a bit with it, it seems to be better, but still a bit sluggish from time to time. We need to test further.
