Adam great that you put XMPP +IoT on the agenda, I will gladly help out
there.
I have just started
a github site to ease the
introduction of "xmpp internet of things" making it possible to fork and
help in updating. Also with a "manifest" for backers.

What goals would you like to see set for the
Board for the year ahead?
Just thought I’d share my goals for the board in this thread, which I’ll
be raising in the board meeting tomorrow and trying to figure out how to
succinctly add to the Trello board without overloading it :)
My strong desire is to help the board best serve the interests of the
XSF—and I hope these things are aimed in that direction.
In that light, I’d love to hear feedback / criticism / reality checks from
XSF members on these. Guaranteed many of you have been thinking about these
things so much longer than I have.
*Active website *
- Active and strategically opinionated blog—dismantle myths, responses
to blog posts on other sites, present pros for using XMPP instead of
bespoke protocols or building YAMS (yet another messaging silo)
- Link to and feature howtos and new XMPP projects on the XSF site and
blog.
- "Position paper" style pages on various topics (optimization,
performance, federation, s2s, mobile), with relevant blog posts and howtos
linked
- Publicly summarizing the Council's agenda
- XMPP +IoT, XMPP + WebRTC sections
- Use GitHub to empower the XSF and extended XMPP community to
collaborate on the site — Allow submission of new/revised content and blog
posts via pull request
*Proactively build the community*
- There are 2600 repositories on GitHub containing "XMPP"(
https://github.com/search?q=xmpp&type=Repositories) Who are these
people and how many of them are connected to the XSF?
- Invite people to idle in an easily accessible channel (IRC + Web +
XMPP)
- Feature, publicize, and praise new XMPP based projects
- Seek to grow the active XSF membership, particularly those working
in growing areas of tech intersecting with XMPP (IoT, WebRTC, indie tech)
- Encourage and feature meetups and relevant conferences
- Encourage members to attend technical conferences and submit talks
supportive of the XSF's strategic agenda
*Invite and listen to criticism of XMPP*
- Listen, and work to address it where the Council agrees we should
- Answer misconceptions with position pages and education
- Help council prioritize work based on this feedback
I would love to hear feedback and criticism from XSF members on all of the
above. Do you agree? Disagree? Does anything stand out to you as blatantly
ignorant or wrong or naively overambitious? Let me have it! :)
Thanks so much.
