Dear all, we have successfully signed-up at Outreachy as community: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/xmpp-extensible-messaging-and-pre… We are slowly getting familiar with the program which differs in several parts from e.g. Google Summer of Code. With the support of JMP.chat we have also a funding for one project. This allows us to apply for Outreachy funding as well. So, by this message I invite to sign-up with project ideas on our Outreachy page. Please read the guidelines before you are engaging in this and make yourself familiar with the program: https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/#mentor If you have questions feel free to reach out and I will try to answer for you. Other then that, the Google Summer of Code 2024 application is pending and you can engage in this program, too. Best regards, Eddie

Google Summer of Code 2024 at XMPP Standards Foundation

by E.M.

Dear all, the XMPP Standards Foundation once again plans to apply for the Google Summer of Code 2024! https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/11/google-summer-of-code-2024-celebr… Hereby, I call everyone interested to reach out and start planning their participation. If you are interested please review: - Read the mentoring guide or at least watch their Youtube videos: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq - The time you can really spent as mentor: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline - Your project runs under a OSI approved license: https://opensource.org/licenses/ - You will require to register to Google's organization platform with an Google account. However, you don't need a Google mail, just carefully follow the steps. - Communicate and reach out in your OWN community too. - You and your students need to be available continuously through XMPP. In the recent years I had the experience people being offline and were not able to reach through their XMPP accounts sufficiently. Regarding the latter, the stipend also has interest for community bonding, also to XMPP in general. You shouldn't expect students to solve difficult implementation unless you know them and their capabilities. Application starts at Monday, 22nd January 2024, please have potential ideas ready by then. Changes to GSoC to this year for your interest: - "Starting in 2024 we will have small (~90 hour projects), medium (~175 hr projects) and large (~350 hour) projects available to GSoC contributors. Orgs should have medium and large projects available in their Project Ideas lists. Small project ideas are not required for orgs, but if the smaller size project works for your org they should be included in your Organization’s Ideas List." Find our wikipage for organization here: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summer_of_Code_2024 To edit the page, reach out to an XSF member to enter your input or you’ll need a wiki account, which we’ll happily provide for you. Reach out in the XSF public chatroom: https://xmpp.org/chat#converse/room?jid=xsf@muc.xmpp.org I am happy to hear from a backup org admin to help me here and there or if I cannot make it due to other appointments. Basic organization skills should be sufficient. Let me know if you have further questions. Please join: Cheers, Eddie _________________________ GSoC Administrator at XSF

potential funding source for XMPP projects

by Peter Saint-Andre

Hi everyone, I just learned about a European Commission initiative called NGI0 Commons Fund, which provides funding for FOSS projects and individual developers based in Europe and "partner" countries like the UK. This could be beneficial for projects and people in the XMPP community, so you might want to check it out: https://nlnet.nl/commonsfund/ Peter

Board vote on XEP-0458: Code of Conduct

by Peter Saint-Andre

This message is for the Board of Directors, but in the interest of transparency I am sending it to the members(a)xmpp.org list. I'd like to request a vote of the Board on XEP-0458: Code of Conduct. The document has been in a half-completed state for quite some time, but we held a Last Call on it in November and updated the document in December. Thus it is now ready for advancement as an active policy of the XSF. You can review the document here: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0458.html Peter P.S. It would be nice to have this in place before the Summit / FOSDEM events a few weeks from now.
