XMPP at FOSDEM 2026
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#xmpp-at-fosdem-2…
During January 31st and February 1st, the XSF was present at [FOSDEM
26](https://fosdem.org/2026/) in Brussels, Belgium. The XMPP community took part in the
Realtime Lounge, a room located in Level 1, AW building, together with the [Prosody
IM](https://blog.prosody.im/prosody-at-fosdem-2026/) and the
[
Snikket](https://snikket.org/blog/fosdem-2026/) projects, where several open source
projects around the [Decentralised Communication
Devroom](https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track/decentralised-communication… can present
themselves.
We are pleased to say that there was a lot of interaction at the XMPP booth! A rather
large number of FOSDEM visitors had the opportunity to come say “Hi!”, meet, interact,
talk and have interesting conversations with many of the developers of the most popular
clients, servers, tools and libraries that power the whole XMPP ecosystem and bring it to
life.
In addition to the activities that took place on the XMPP booth, [Daniel
Gultsch](https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/speaker/daniel_gultsch/) and
[
S1m](https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/speaker/s1m/), [Jérôme
Sautret](https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/speaker/jerome_sautret/), [Timothée
Jaussoin](https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/speaker/timothee_jaussoin/), and [Özcan
Oğuz](https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/speaker/ozcan_oguz/) hosted four different XMPP
related presentations from the Decentralised Communication Developer Room and the [FOSS on
Mobile](https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track/foss-on-mobile/) track.
You can watch the presentations from the following list of links:

XMPP listed as Alternative Chat at DI.DAY Initiative
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#xmpp-listed-as-a…
The German initiative ‘Digital Independence Day’ ([DI.DAY](https://di.day/)) has been
kicked off this year to enable users to migrate to open-source software alternatives in
various contexts. Besides other services, XMPP is listed as an alternative chat option and
XMPP Community members have created so-called switch recipes: Digital Independence Day.

other improvements and features such as account sorting and improved [message
deletion](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0424.html), this update also brings new support
for multiple XEPs. Thanks to the standardization of XMPP, it is now possible to have
social interaction across different XMPP platforms and messengers. These new features

[13.0.3](https://blog.prosody.im/prosody-13.0.3-released/) and
[13.0.4](https://blog.prosody.im/prosody-13.0.4-released/), both minor releases of the
stable branch. The former comes with a range of tweaks, bug fixes and minor improvements,
and the latter being the encouraged upgrade, partly due to a bug that was introduced into
UUID generation in the previous release. Although not strictly bug fixes, some
configuration-related improvements that help make configuring Prosody a little easier and
more reliable also made their way into the latest release. Read all the details on the
[changelog](https://prosody.im/doc/release/13.0.4), and as always, detailed download and
install instructions are available on the [download page](https://prosody.im/download/)
for your convenience.
- [
MongooseIM](https://www.erlang-solutions.com/technologies/mongooseim/) has released
[MongooseIM 6.5: Open for
Integration](https://www.erlang-solutions.com/blog/mongooseim-6-5-open-for-….
This release focuses on easier integration with your applications while continuing to
deliver a scalable and reliable XMPP-based messaging server. The most important
improvement in MongooseIM 6.5.0 is the production-ready integration with
[RabbitMQ](https://esl.github.io/MongooseDocs/latest/modules/mod_event_pusher_rabbit/),
allowing external services to process the events from the server. It is worth noting that
the mechanism is highly extensible – you can craft such extensions yourself.

ProcessOne](https://www.process-one.net/) is pleased to announce the release of
[ejabberd
26.01](https://www.process-one.net/blog/ejabberd-26-01/). This release addresses
real operational pain points: export your data from one database backend and import it
into another, and [roster invites and invite-based account
registration](https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/configuration/modules/?ref=process-one.net#mod_invites)
to let your users invite others without opening the gates to spam! Make sure to read the
[
changelog](https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/compare/25.10...26.01?ref…

Extensions and specifications
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#extensions-and-s…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP
series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP
RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/).
Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these
extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing
ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as
Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as
Deferred. This life cycle is described in
[
XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and
canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards
process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and
Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing
List](https://mail.jabber.org/postorius/lists/standards.xmpp.org/) ([online
archive](https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/standards@xmpp.org/)).
Proposed
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP
Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the
[
Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to
accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- [End-to-End Encrypted Contacts
Metadata](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/contacts-e2e.html)
- This specification describes how to encrypt contacts metadata to minimize server
exposure.
New
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#new
- No new XEPs this month.
Deferred
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off
Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto
Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#updated
- Version 1.1.0 of [
XEP-0386](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0386.html) (Bind 2)
- It’s authorization-identifier not authorization-identity (dg)
Last Call
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the
[
Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the
XEP seems ready, the [XMPP
Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last
Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP
before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No XEPs last calls this month.
Stable
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#stable
- No stable XEPs this month.
Deprecated
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#deprecated
- No XEPs deprecated this month.
Rejected
https://xmpp.org/2026/02/the-xmpp-newsletter-january-2026/#rejected

This XMPP Newsletter is produced collaboratively by the XMPP community. Each month’s
newsletter issue is drafted in this [simple
pad](https://pad.nixnet.services/oHnY_ZvLT8SoFyCqIC2ung). At the end of each month, the
pad’s content is merged into the [XSF GitHub
repository](https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/milestone/3). We are always happy to welcome
contributors. Do not hesitate to join the discussion in our [Comm-Team group chat
(MUC)](xmpp:commteam@muc.xmpp.org?join) and thereby help us sustain this as a community
effort. You have a project and want to spread the news? Please consider sharing your news
