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

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

Hello,
As I've been catching up on the latest XMPP developments, I noticed that the editor mailing list is experiencing a significant influx of spam. You can see the extent of the issue here: https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/editor@xmpp.org/
Not sure what can be done to clean and filter that spam more efficiently, but the list is probably not veryt useful as is.
On a different note, I wanted to share that I quite like the Hyperkitty tool. I've been using it to browse emails from the web interface, and I found it very simple (and I am writing this email from it).
I hope this helps,
Kind regard,
