Baraza is an open-source messaging and presence server designed for Linux users. It offers a free, easy-to-use platform for mobile instant messaging.
The unique feature of Baraza is that it allows users to connect with their friends, family members or colleagues and build their social networks on mobile, or use the open IM networks such as Google Talk.
The application comes with stealth settings that allow you to stay in control of your online presence by deciding who can see you online. It is an excellent feature that ensures you keep all unwanted individuals off your list.
The software works with various phone types and networks, making it accessible to anyone. The developers of Baraza understand that not everyone uses the same phone model or network, and that is why they made it possible for everyone to use it.
To run Baraza, you will need to have an Open Source PostgreSQL RDBMS (v8.2 and above) for all data storage. Therefore, before you can install and use the software, you will need to have a PostgreSQL server installation. Unfortunately, the software does not support any other databases at the moment. However, this might change in the future.
Overall, Baraza receives our highest recommendation for anyone looking for an excellent mobile instant messaging and presence server with several unique features. With Baraza, you can build a community and keep in touch with your loved ones safely and easily.
