Framasoft, the French non-profit organisation behind projects such as PeerTube and Mobilizon, has published their yearly report, titled
‘Let’s regain ground on the toxic web’. It details the work they have been doing over the last year, their future plans, as well as a donation drive. Over the next few weeks, Framasoft will dive deeper into specific parts of their plans and products: In the week of 28th of November they’ll talk about this years work on PeerTube, and 2 weeks later they will talk about next year’s plans for PeerTube. In between, they’ll tell us more about Mobilizon.
PeerTube will released their next version (v6) at the end of November, with important features such as video chapters and password protection for videos. Password protection especially will be an interesting feature to watch, as it positions PeerTube in a clear different place than YouTube; uploading videos that you want control over who gets to watch the video. Stay tuned for more information once v6 gets released.
Framasoft also announced that next year they will bet big on PeerTube, working on features such as better moderation tools, working on promoting the ecosystem more, and an official PeerTube mobile app. All of this will get covered in more detail in a few weeks time. Watch this space for more information on a special event as well!
Finally, Framasoft has also given an update on the federated event planning software Mobilizon. After four years of development, v4 will be the final version that will be released under Mobilizon. Framasoft says that they feel that they have completed their vision for the product, and that groups will have the features they need to organise their events.
