Mellium Co-op :xmpp: :golang:

Looks like the website will remain up! Alder IT (https://alderit.com/) has graciously stepped in now that #Fosshost is no more and has agreed to host our website. We really appreciate all the recommendations everyone provided.

We are temporarily moving the website back to Netlify since #Fosshost is shutting down. It may be intermittently available until DNS propagates and a new TLS certificate is provisioned. We know some of you had issues due to IP blocks on some of their shared IPs in the past, and will try to move it somewhere with a dedicated IP again as soon as possible. We are already talking to a few people, and if you know of anyone who would be interested in sponsoring a small VPS, we'd love to chat!

@coopcloud you've probably got a handle on the co-op hosting options out there better than we do; now that #Fosshost is shutting down are you aware of any cooperative alternatives, maybe running your stack (but really anything will do)? Paid or free, we're trying to raise funds now for an alternative.

We are excited to announce that we will be implementing #OMEMO end-to-end encryption in Mellium with a grant from #NLNet and the #NGIAssure fund! #XMPP has never been better, and we hope to improve the entire ecosystem with the project. https://opencollective.com/mellium/updates/mellium-to-receive-grant-for-end-to-end-encryption
