-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: JMP this month: stats, a facelift, and more! Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 17:18:35 -0400 From: Denver Gingerich <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hi everyone! Welcome to the latest edition of your pseudo-monthly https://jmp.chat/ update! In case it's been a while since you checked out JMP, here's a refresher: JMP lets you send and receive text and picture messages through a real phone number right from your computer, tablet, phone, or anything else that has an XMPP client. JMP's tagline, "Freedom for SMS", captures the freedom that JMP gives you from traditional cell phone carriers, as well as the fully-free nature of all the software that powers JMP (licensed entirely under AGPLv3+). We have a number of interesting new developments this month, so I'll get right to them: * Stephen Paul Weber wrote an excellent article on how you can use JMP to get visual voicemail (with transcription) on your existing phone number: https://singpolyma.net/2017/06/awesome-voicemail-for-android/ * JMP now has an inventory of vanity/preferred numbers - we're starting with numbers in the coveted 212 area code (see https://jmp.chat/sp1a/register1/?areacode=212 ) and plan to expand; suggestions welcome! * we've made https://jmp.chat/ much simpler so it's easy to see what the signup steps are - if you hesitated to show your friends because the site seemed complicated, give it another look :) * curious how many minutes/messages you used this month? JMP now displays this with a new "Show Monthly Usage" feature, accessible from an ad-hoc command just like voicemail settings (see https://jmp.chat/#voicemail for details) * as usual, a variety of bug fixes and minor improvements were added; for a complete list, see: ** https://gitlab.com/ossguy/jmp-register/commits/master ** https://gitlab.com/ossguy/jmp-fwdcalls/commits/master Also, both I and Stephen Paul Weber (who's done a lot of work on JMP so far) will be at DebConf, which is taking place in less than a month in Montreal: https://debconf17.debconf.org/ - we're still waiting to hear if a Soprani.ca-related talk will be accepted, but feel free to find us in the halls if you want to chat! If you'd like to see what's happening with JMP between emails like this, here are some ways you can find out: * follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JMP_chat * find us in the [email protected] group chat, accessible from most XMPP clients, or on the web: https://anonymous.cheogram.com/[email protected] * signup for the 30-day free trial at https://jmp.chat/#signup and try out the new features! Our current top priorities for next features (roughly in order) are: more plan and payment options, a custom JMP app, and testing of 900 MHz radio hardware for future expansion of the project (see https://wiki.soprani.ca/ThePlan#Long-range_radios for details). We'll be sure to keep you in the loop on all the new developments. Thanks for reading and have a great week!
