Hello everyone:
Replying in support to Travis proposal, the XSF should sign the open letter.
The arguments have been clearly exposed by Travis and I don't plan to be redundant nor
add verbosity to something that I personally found to be self explanatory and can be
simply reduced into a matter of common sense.
It is my humble opinion that Board shouldn't delay this any further and sign the open
letter on behalf of the XSF.
Best regards
Gonzalo Raúl Nemmi.

Hello,
As an open standards organization I think the XSF should sign
https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/
There are many reasons but the most obvious is that Android is the most popular operating
system in the world (wikipedia says). If you want XMPP adoption by users self hosting, or
companies, or govts, they'll all need clients to run on android, and google has a long
track record of blocking them. eg
https://blog.jmp.chat/b/2026-google-wants-to-control-your-device it's also happened to
Conversations and I believe Snikket.
Guus asked that I email here to guage support so please reply to let the board know. If
you are like me and despise email drop your support in xmpp:xsf@muc.xmpp.org?join and
I'll forward it here for you.
Thanks,
