Re: [Bug 296867]
Individual offers of $50 on a bug report are great, but we talked of having a Kickstarter. I bet in the current climate we could raise thousands. Who is capable of taking a quarter million dollars, or 120k, or 50k, or 10k, and doing this? It happens for other crap. Why not for this awesome?

Re: [Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
Do we have someone who can commit to doing this work if funding shows up? I'm happy to help promote a kickstarter campaign.

[Bug 146924] Re: Time went backwards + freeze for domU's with kernel 2.6.22-xen
Well, it's certainly valid and affects current production environment for us. We know the clearest solution is to use newer xen and kernels, and we are using the jiffies workaround, but it's not clear there isn't a better solution. From what I've read, Jiffies are in fact obsolete and can be problematic, so this problem is certainly very old. $0.02 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146924 Title: Time went backwards + freeze for domU's with kernel 2.6.22-xen -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
Nate - do you want to help with the implementation? I've volunteered to do this work, but it is taking some time to acclimate myself to the codebase. The Empathy core developers don't seem particularly interested in this feature, so I think those of us stomping our feet oughta pitch in. The architecture is really pretty simple, the meat seems to be in a Handler component which is designed to be able to be supplanted, afaict. I just haven't decided how to do this with the least intrusion into already-working code. -- empathy needs to support OTR encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
So, this is triaged and wishlisted, is anyone interested in implementing it? I am. I agree with the developers' general concerns regarding OTR, it doesn't work well, but it works with users of common IM clients on all operating systems. I have a lot of experience with its' funkiness The most important use of OTR for serious IT? Giving users secure passwords, or asking them for a new password for a service which must be reset by an admin in the shell. Second most important? Talking about competetive business ideas that might compete with companies who own and operate huge IM networks. It shouldn't be possible to operate a dedicated, physically secure server to have a secure conversation. The deniability aspect is not the most important thing to me, I'm not sure a mainstream product needs to AIM FOR giving users deniability, as this implies intentional protection of wrongdoing, but it is essential to be able to secure at least portions of a conversation, selectively, and in fact OTR's PGP-based system is effective at removing deniability when that is intended, so not just encryption, but signature identity. Anyway, I'm interested in helping to implement this feature if noone currently is. Pidgin is, in fact, a flaky pile of crud that evolved from gaim which evolved from who knows what, paper cups and string. The biggest problem I have with Pidgin is that it sometimes just stops accepting pastes, so that's been enough for me to decide that OTR is no longer my favorite feature, though still an important one. That Empathy was flung onto Ubuntu users with reduced functionality and arbitrary opposition to reproducing commonly used functionality, however, is inescapably ironic to me. ;) -- empathy needs to support OTR encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Whups.. Shouldn't be *necessary* to run a server to have secure communications, absolutely should be possible. :) -- empathy needs to support OTR encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
