Hello everyone,
very last call for XMPP projects to submit their ideas and participation interest: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summer_of_Code_2023#Project_Ideas_(TO_BE_U…
(Reminder from experience: When everything becomes official you need to register to Google's platform (however, you don't need a Google Email). If that's a no-go to you, please don't progress.)
Cheers

Hello everyone,
My name is Kang Breder Mbulle. I am a student in the University of Buea,
Cameroon and I am interested in contributing code to XMPP as I look forward
to participating in GSoC 2021 as a student. I am proficient in Java and I
recently started learning Android.
I am happy to be here and I wish to know how I can start contributing to
this community.
Thank you,
Breder.
Dear members
I’ve added a reference to a new XMPP broker called the "IoT Broker” to the list of XMPP servers referenced by the XSF:
https://xmpp.org/software/servers.html
Anyone interested in using it for IoT applications, or do interoperability tests together is most welcome to contact me. I’ve also added references to libraries (Waher Networking) that can be used, as well as a client for IoT (Simple IoT Client):
https://xmpp.org/software/libraries.htmlhttps://xmpp.org/software/clients.html
Best regards,
Peter Waher
