Google Summer of Code 2024 at XMPP Standards Foundation
by E.M. 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

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

Editor mailing list filled with spam
by Mickaël Rémond 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

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, -- Mickaël Rémond

potential funding source for XMPP projects
by Peter Saint-Andre 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

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
