So, this tool is OSS but appears to be dependent on a commercial service. Is there any chance that Plivo will open source the necessary bits to enable true standalone operation? There's a lot of potential for an application like this in parts of the world where open communication is restricted.
- alecsmart1 13y agoI agree. I thought it was completely open-source. What's the use of open sourcing just a part of the code and forcing users to use a Plivo account to use the service (even if you self host it).
- bevenky 13y agoPlivo has an open source framework too. Currently this App is built on the cloud, but feel free to port it to open source version! http://plivo.com/open-source/ http://plivo.com/open-source/
- f_salmon 13y agoBeing open-source is a very important point. But any communication system that is built for the future must at least be (public-key) encrypted. Then you, make it 100% decentralized and you're ready for our time where unlimited mass surveillance seems acceptable for "democratic" governments.
