Stateless File Sharing GSoC project - Dino. Communicating happiness.

Hey!

I’m Patiga, a computer science student from Germany and a new contributor to Dino. The yearly Google Summer of Code has started, and I’m glad to be part of it. This time, you can look forward to a modernized file transfer called “Stateless File Sharing”.

End users can look forward to blurred previews of large images and other metadata alongside file transfers. You might already know this from other messengers, now it’s coming to Dino/XMPP.

There are some more technicalities, which we will dive into deeper in upcoming blog posts. If you want to have a peek at some technical information already, see the relevant XEP-0447.

This Google Summer of Code was about adding peer-to-peer file transfers to Dino. Dino is an XMPP client, XMPP is decentralized instant messaging standard. The work was mostly done in two larger pull requests.

Hello! I’m hrxi, a mathematics student from Germany. I got accepted into Google Summer of Code with the XMPP standards foundation as the mentoring organisation. In the next three months, I’m going to work on Dino, a modern XMPP client for the desktop.
