Dear Board members,
This email announces the agenda for our next Board meeting, scheduled for
Thursday, 19 February 2026, from 17:00 to 17:30 UTC. The meeting will take
place in the XSF chatroom at xmpp:xsf@muc.xmpp.org?join.
Brief context is included for each agenda item to support preparation.
*1. Welcome*Opening of the meeting.
*2. Formalize Agenda*Confirm and approve the agenda for this meeting.
*3. Vote on: XSF Communication Team's email provider budget*Proposal to
approve the team's migration to
Mailbox.org at approximately 30 EUR/year as
discussed most recently on
https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/members@xmpp.org/thread/ODT43WOCRUE…
*4. Progress report: decision-ready proposal for XSF's EU-based
presence*Follow-up
on Guus's commitment to present a concrete proposal for establishing a
minimal EU presence for XSF, per action point of the Board meeting on 15
Dec 2025.
*5. Summit follow-up discussion: Second XMPP Summit 2026 (online?)*Summit
discussions showed interest; mailing-list feedback was limited. Validate
whether sufficient interest still exists. Decide whether to proceed with
lightweight exploration (e.g. call for volunteers, rough scope), or
explicitly conclude that no further action will be taken at this time.
*6. Summit follow-up discussion: Structured outreach initiatives*Ideas were
discussed at the Summit; minimal follow-up input was received via the
mailing list. Identify one or two concrete outreach initiatives worth
pursuing (including an owner and success criteria), or explicitly conclude
that no further action will be taken at this time.
*7. Summit follow-up discussion: XMPP 2*Prior discussions expressed
interest; little asynchronous feedback was received. Determine whether
there is sufficient interest to warrant further work, and either mandate a
scoped next step or explicitly conclude that no further action will be
taken at this time.
*8. Any Other Business (AOB)*Items not listed above that require brief
attention.
