Help us by contributing to Prav iOS fundraiser
by Ravi Dwivedi 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

Hi all, We need your help! In our experience, onboarding iOS users to XMPP is inconvenient right now compared to Android - there is no Quicksy-like phone number/SMS OTP sign up. Developing a convenient and easy-to-onboard XMPP iOS app is one of our top priorities. Help us and the whole XMPP ecosystem by contributing to the Prav iOS app fundraiser at the following link 👉 https://opencollective.com/prav-ios. Prav iOS app will be Free/Libre Software[1] following our track record of transparency and privacy. Due to network effects, a messaging app is not just a personal choice and even a single contact of yours having iOS can affect wider adoption of XMPP (we also don't like Apple but we feel this is an essential step for adoption of XMPP by people outside the Free Software circles). Remember that whatever be the amount, every donation counts :-) [1] https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html -- Ravi Dwivedi https://ravidwivedi.in

Good news! We reached minimum members requirement for registering a Multi State Cooperative Society in India
by Ravi Dwivedi 19 Nov '23

19 Nov '23

Hi all, Hope this email finds you well. We are elated to announce that Prav app project has reached the minimum required members needed for registering a Multi State Cooperative Society in India! We have got 50+ members from the states of Kerala and Maharashtra, fulfilling the legal requirement of 50 pledges from two Indian states. You can check the number of member separated on basis of state at https://prav.app/become-a-member. Currently, we are finalizing bye-laws for the co-operative society and are looking forward to register as soon as possible. If you are familiar with drafting legal documents in general, your help and insights into crafting the bye-laws would be greatly appreciated. Please note that you can still become a member of the co-operative by submitting the membership form at https://prav.app/become-a-member. However, also keep in mind that all members have to be a citizen of India. Thanks to the co-operative structure, all members will get 1 vote irrespective of how many shares they bought, for general decision-making and to elect the board of directors of the Prav co-operative society. Lastly, we would like to sincerely thank all those who have pledged to join the co-operative, volunteered for the project, or helped with outreach. Your help was and will continue to be extremely useful for furthering the goals of Prav. -- Ravi Dwivedi https://ravidwivedi.in

We are closer to form a cooperative society
by Ravi Dwivedi 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hi all, We are closer to our goal of registering a cooperative society in India. We need 6 more people from Maharashtra. Background: To register a multi state cooperative society in India requires 50 members each from two Indian states. Kerala already crossed 50 and we are waiting to get 50 members from some other state for the legal requirement. Number of members statistics are on this page https://prav.app/become-a-member/ and you can also help us by being a member now (if you are from India). -- Ravi Dwivedi Personal website https://ravidwivedi.in Prav app https://prav.app

You can get a Prav account by simply entering an OTP received by SMS on your phone
by Ravi Dwivedi 09 Sep '23

09 Sep '23

Greetings! Good news: we are one step closer to the Prav public beta release! Earlier we had to create an account manually on the server and people had to explicitly request us an account by filling a form on the website. This is not required anymore :) Prav app now supports SMS registration via OTP. Thanks to Jishnu, Siddharth, Arya, Kiran and Akshay. We were unable to send SMS via OTP earlier because the Quicksy Server only supported the older deprecated version of Twilio (PravServer is based on Quicksy Server) and we had to update Prav Server to work with the newer version of twilio API. We sat together at debconf 23 in Kochi and fixed this[1]. Thanks to debconf 23 for this opportunity. You can download the app from https://beta.prav.app. Once installed, enter your phone number in the app and get an OTP to register an account. However, remember that the app is still in private beta. This means it is subject to changes and may need more bug fixes. We still don't recommend using Prav as your primary communication medium but we hope to be able to reach there sometime soon. In the next step, we hope to upload on F-Droid app store which will make it easy for you to install the app. Going forward, we want to upload the app on Google Play Store and Apple app store too. Feel free to test and report issues if any or get in touch with us [2]. [1] https://codeberg.org/prav/IssueTracker/issues/4 [2] https://prav.app/#contact -- Ravi Dwivedi https://ravidwivedi.in
