Dear XMPP Summit 26 participants and beyond,
beginning of this month we in Brussels and had another great XMPP
Summit! Thank you all for participation.
I have been asked to follow-up on the action items and encourage to work
on the ToDos. Here we go. I have collected all Action Items I could find
in our pad: https://pad.nixnet.services/D6jfvHjJTTqyAfHd3Z2_Cg
If you want me to create issue, I can do so.
In general, I also invite to sent or add your feedback to the pad:
https://pad.nixnet.services/D6jfvHjJTTqyAfHd3Z2_Cg#Feedback-Summit-26
If something has been fulfilled and I missed it, let me know. Sorted in
the same order we spoke about it:
_________________________________________
# Day 1
## XMPP 2.0 - overlaps with strategy
* review modernxmpp.org[http://modernxmpp.org] landing page (cal0pteryx)
* make modernxmpp.org[http://modernxmpp.org] and compliance suite
more prominent on xmpp.org[http://xmpp.org] (maybe merge modernxmpp and
xmpp.org[http://xmpp.org]) (cal0pteryx)
* write XEP to prepare 2.0 RFC - MattJ if nobody else volunteers
* everyone write a blog post about implementing stuff and/or
contribute to libraries 😉 - singpolyma
## Editor role
* automatically publish xeps from github on merge
* put shell script that checks author in github actions
* singpolyma volunteers to help automate
* potential risk of abuse (already true)
## Discord like spa
* Kevin promises to get the spec written out (for real this time)
## Strategy (marketing)
* https://superbloom.design/ (Formerly Simply Secure) have a team of
designers that obtain funding to help open source projects
* have a way to direct devs and users who land on xmpp.org to the
appropriate places; joinjabber.org, modernxmpp
* Don’t deprecate a compliance suite while keeping the newest experimental
## Audio/Video
* document how we translate jingle to sdp for different webrtc
implementations
* volunteers needed please (Larma volunteered :) )
___________________________________________________
# Day 2
## Read Sync
* Daniel Gultsch volunteers to write the XEP:
https://gultsch.de/files/xep-mds.html
## Device Management

## MUC/MIX
* Daniel Gultsch to writeup what he means by using occupant ids

submit (~MattJ)
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,
