   First try of #Wire. Video called #Daddy_A, talked with him, #Little_Boy_A, #Baby_A2. Baby_A2 didn't talk or wave, but his smile almost wrapped around his head. (He's the one who was not in a people-meeting mood when I saw him in person.) #Baby_A3 was asleep. #Mama_A said hi briefly, then faded into the background. (I'll try to get her to engage more in the future. When someone marries into my family, I want to build a relationship with them as well as continue to enjoy the relationship you have with your family member.)

     @bobjonkman @bob FOSS is a requirement for me. #Wire is not yet federated, but they claim that feature is on the way. (Another requirement: I should not be forced to rely upon a single organization's server. I should either be able to host my own server or it should be P2P and not need one.)

     @lnxw48a1 @bobjonkman Wire seems like early development and without federation of servers or pure P2P it's not going to be as useful as XMPP or Matrix.

     @bobjonkman @bob One thing I am looking for in all this (and which #Ring, #Tox, and #Wire seem to be providing) is integrated audio/video chats. They ( #Daddy_A and his wife ) normally want to use Skype or Facetime (neither of which I have or use), and they have Apple devices, so no #WebRTC support either.

     @stragu @bobjonkman The Android app is #GPLv3 https://github.com/wireapp/wire-android/blob/master/LICENSE ... the iOS app will have a different license, as Apple is copyleft-hostile.

     @stragu @bobjonkman I was wrong. iOS version is also #GPLv3 https://github.com/wireapp/wire-ios/blob/develop/LICENSE ... I didn't think Apple allowed copyleft licenses.

     Not the @Wire I was thinking of. Need enforced fully-qualified user names, dammit!
