Confusion in protocol name

by Mickaël Rémond

Hello, I came across the XMTP protocol (https://xmtp.org). It is a messaging protocol based on the blockchain, supported by Ephemera, a company with large fundings. The protocol is presented as "XMTP (Extensible Message Transport Protocol) is the largest and most secure decentralized messaging network". It seems to be confusing for the whole messaging community and I have a hard time imagining it is not on purpose. Should we, as the XSF, make a move ? We could ask the IETF if they also would want to join a letter of clarification. What do you think about it ? Kind regards, -- Mickaël Rémond

Renaming git main branches.

by Goffi

Hello dear XSF Members, I see that we are still using "master" as the name of the main branch on Git repositories (here, for instance: https://github.com/xsf/xeps ). You are probably all aware that the use of this term has raised controversy in recent years, as it can be perceived as a reference to slavery (see https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%E2%80%93slave_(technology)#Controversy for instance). To avoid this unwanted reference and ensure the XSF is welcoming to everyone, I propose that we change these branch names to "main," as many notable projects have done (such as Python, the Linux Kernel, or GitHub). I'm not sure whether this matter should be discussed in the Board or Council (as it is a technical issue), but it would be good to add it to the agenda. Thank you! Goffi

memberbot update

by Benson Muite

Hi, Would like to update memberbot to: a) Use encrypted connections b) Allow for greater privacy in voting. A two server deployment would allow separation of voting credentials from the vote itself - not a full guarantee but an improvement over the current state. i) Some example internet voting applications are 1) https://github.com/benadida/helios-server 2) https://www.belenios.org ii) Some references: 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_multi-party_computation 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verifiable_secret_sharing 3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_auditable_voting Benson
