[Standards] Re: Scoping discussion: updating XMPP RFCs / XMPP 2.0

The other thing someone mentioned to me - not as discouragement or as a show stopper - but as a friendly tip - was that if we don’t get outside collaborators / new participants and if instead it's only XSF people working on it anyway then why bother? Marvin and I have plans to organize a side meeting at the next IETF to maybe gauge some interest. I think generally speaking there must be some interest in the IETF community for standardized, federated instant messaging. Matrix isn’t it. MIMI isn’t it. So there is currently a gap that XMPP can fil. But maybe a side meeting in Vienna can help to figure out who else is out there. Speaking of IETF126 in Vienna: The IETF has a Hackathon on the Saturday and Sunday (July 18th and 19th) that is free to attend and even has free catering. Given the proximity of a lot of XMPP developer to Vienna I think it would be nice if a few of us could attend there to work on XMPP. (Even those that are not usually attending IETF). On one hand it would be a nice opportunity to have a regular XMPP sprint with the location and the food sorted for us. On the other hand suddenly having an entire table full of XMPP people at an IETF event will certainly raise some attention. At the end of the Hackathon there is a 90s-2 minute opportunity to present the Hackathon project and I did a presentation at the Hackathon in Shenzhen and apparently that turned some heads as well. If we want people to notice XMPP that's a good starting point. IETF126 Hackathon would be a win-win. Free location free food for a sprint we regularly do anyway. + Maybe some free advertisements (and raise attention for the side meeting we are also trying to do)
