XSF Communications Team - 2018-11-02

I'm struggling to find the time to work on this months newsletter, is there someone who could potentially help out?

Aye sir!

I will

I can't take a look until I'm home today, unfortunately.

Thanks SouL, I'll see whether I can update the wiki with more links today

Great, thanks jc

SouL, https://monal.im/blog/monal-in-eu-stores/ and https://monal.im/blog/links-will-look-different/ maybe.

yes

I've added some other things to the wiki

jc, I'm about to send a PR for the newsletter (I know it is late, couldn't get earlier at home, sorry). About the author thing, should I put my full name, a nickname or..? I see it is used at least for the website, but not sure.

SouL Thanks for much for your effort on this. It's fine that it's late, this is all volunteer driven

About the author, I personally don't care. Use whatever you're comfortable with

It is not displayed anywhere, so I don't know if I put my name with spaces will break anything, mainly that is the question

I can just write Seve

What value was there before?

What value did I give?

jcbrand

I think it is used on the website to filter by your posts

one second

https://xmpp.org/author/jcbrand.html

jc, there ^

Going to write Seve just in case

ok

jc, are you able to trigger the sending of the newsletter? I don't know how you do that

https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/474/files I'm reading it over and over, just in case

I will proofread it once again and merge if there are no complaints

Unless you guys want to wait for tomorrow, of course. I'm fine.

SouL "brand new", not "new brand" 🙂

SouL "a call for participation for Real Time Communications at FOSDEM. " perhaps rather "a call for participation in the Real Time Communications track at FOSDEM"

SouL "Great opportunity for the interested ones on giving an XMPP talk." "Great opportunity for anyone interested in giving an XMPP talk"

SouL "unread inbox support and more.." has two dots at the end

SouL "being 4.0.4 the latest release." => "with 4.0.4 being the latest release."

Other than that, looks really good!

I like your style, and considering that you're not native English speaker, it's very good ✏

I'll handle out sending of the newsletter. I can show you how that's done some other time perhaps

jc, thank you very much for the checks! I'm modifiying it now

jc, changes sent.

Thanks, I've merged it. Once it's built I'll send out the emails

Super

Hello everybody

Hello arnaud.jacquemin

I'm ArnaudJ who did the French translation last month

Thank you for that! It is very appreciated :)

Link Mauve sent me in this chatroom, not sure why, but I'm happy to say “hello” 😃

You're welcome, it's my pleasure!

hi ArnaudJ

Newsletter email is being sent out to 161 subscribers

ArnaudJ, maybe next month the French version can be sent at the same time!

With a call for other people to translate it in their language too.

Oops sorry, I think I'm not in the mailing list, I'm more of a RSS type of guy...

Link Mauve: yeah that would be great, but also more difficult to synchronize everybody

We can try to coordinate for the next one :)

The OSM community tries to do that on weeklyosm.eu

The French translation is late sometimes

(...frequently)

But I'm OK to try for the next one, if I just need to save an evening in my calendar

To be honest I'm not an expert, I'm just an average XMPP user, my translation will need proofreading (Link Mauve did it last month)

I’m always here if you need it again. :)
