Hi everyone,

During the recent XMPP Summit, we discussed the idea of organizing a second Summit in 2026, potentially as an online-only event.

The motivation behind this idea would be to:

Keep momentum going between in-person Summits
Lower the barrier to participation
Create space for focused discussions or follow-ups that don’t necessarily require physical presence

At this stage, this is very much an open exploration, not a proposal. Some questions that might be worth discussing:

Is there interest in an additional Summit this year?
What goals would such an event serve?
Would an online format make sense, or are there better alternatives?
What kind of scope or duration would be reasonable?

I'd like to use this thread to gauge interest and collect initial thoughts. If there's enough energy around this, we can look at concrete next steps later.

Looking forward to your input.

Kind regards,

Guus
