Entirely true story: This year, I fumble-fingered my votes on Board, and
realised I was just as happy with the outcome as if I had not. Great
candidates, and if the final board doesn't include me, I'll be happy that
the Board is made up of some really good people who'll do a lot for the
XSF. I mean, vote for me, of course, but actually if you vote for other
people we'll have a great Board anyway, so really just vote if you haven't
already.
Council also has great candidates, and I'm particularly happy that not only
have most of the existing (very good) Council continued, but the "new" slot
will be filled by Jerôme, who should have run for Council years ago. But
it's a massive disappointment to see that we, as members, don't have a
choice - this has been the case for a couple of years. It's nice that the
choice we don't have is a great choice, of course. But it'd be better if we
had multiple great choices.
So, two questions:
- If you're a "technical" XSF member - written XEPs, write code, review
stuff, active in the technical discussions - what stops you from running
for Council?
- How can we encourage and enable people to run for Council?
My answer to the first is actually simple enough - I've been out of the
loop for a couple of years, and now I'm laser-focused on the server-side
(and Metre barely counts as a server). Plus, been there and done that. And
finally, I worried about the commitment level - Council needs timely,
detailed, responses to things.
My answer to the second mostly depends on everyone else's answers to the
first, though...
Anyway, it'd be good if in a year's time, there's 7 or 8 people
volunteering for Council, like Board (bewilderingly) is now.
Dave.

Hi everyone,
firstly, I would like to thank everyone for voting! I am happy to be
able to give the XSF more support and I already have the first
suggestion and question.
As I was at a conference at the German Federal Office for Data
Protection in the department for messenger services at the beginning of
the month and also "promoted" XMPP there, it was suggested to me that I
could send the department an e-mail about XMPP. I would like to do that.
The question is, does it make sense for you or has someone already
written them? (Or maybe we shouldn't write them? :D) The idea is to
explain the advantages of XMPP compared to other messaging protocols.
Also the potential of interoperability and maybe more things that come
to mind.
Have a good time
Arne

Dear all,
The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) will hold its 27th XMPP Summit in
Brussels, Belgium this year again! These are the two days preceding
FOSDEM 2025. The XSF invites everyone interested in development of the
XMPP protocol to attend, and discuss all things XMPP in person and remote!
Here is the official announcement of the XMPP Summit 27:

I will post through our media channels soon.
Kind regards,
Eddie
