Dear all, This year the XMPP Summit 28 took again place in Brussels and we had great participation of almost 40 people attending in-person and online. We also had several new faces there which is great news, too! The same, FOSDEM 2026 took also place at ULB, and though we had to arrange for a new location our Realtime Lounge, the feedback and impressions have been mostly positive. Finally, writing a summary of our experience would be valuable and help others to gain interest in the way we work and the ecosystem are continuously building. To collaborate on this effort, everyone is invited to contribute to this pad before we will create a final PR to review: https://pad.nixnet.services/BoUphR54TnOzh774PhNWXw?view To provide your individual feedback everyone is invited to participate this survey on both events: https://xsf-communication- team.limesurvey.net/286665?lang=en&newtest=Y Please leave your feedback by Sun, 22nd February 2026. At this point, many thanks to everyone who supported us making both happenings a success! Best regards! Eddie
