nyco
we'd better tweet it today
SouL
Ok perfect nyco !
nyco
scheduled for this afternoon
nyco
I'm copywriting now
nyco
Subject/title for the October newsletter:
Prepare for FOSDEM, modern XMPP features, and more news
nyco
please help me find better
nyco
FOSDEM 2020 Feb, modernization of XMPP, and more...
nyco
please review and edit: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Basic_communication_guide_for_XMPP_techies

nyco, do you want to mention FOSDEM from now until the event happens?
nyco
Ralph Meijer, chairman of the Board of Directors of the XSF, has written an introductory piece about "XMPP Message Attaching, Fastening, References" that are specifications in progress.
good enough?
nyco
yes, so we prepare as a community ?
nyco
JabberFr, the French XMPP/Jabber community, has again translated the XMPP newsletter in French, merci beaucoup.
could be improved?
nyco
> For the poor lonesome techies, we wrote a very minimalistic communication guide, could be worth for some.
how is it?
SouL
Ralph Meijer, chairman of the Board of Directors of the XSF, has written an introductory piece about "XMPP Message Attaching, Fastening, References", specifications currently in progress (I would say, but yours is not bad or anything, just my take)
nyco
> Multiple Vulnerabilities found in Dino, please update as soon as possible.
probably too simple
nyco
changed, thx SouL
nyco
> As usual every year, that time has come: we proudly announce the XMPP Summit 24 and the FOSDEM. The 24th XMPP Summit will happen on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st of January, and the FOSDEM will be held on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of February. Prepare for the community gathering.
> Xabber Server v.0.9 alpha is released, with quick installation and management panel, and interesting innovations.
how about that?

nyco, would you think using something like https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/RWzuCOWMNcOk+aW9c8fcHH3E/ would help to work and review the newsletter?
nyco
> The Fastpath Service plugin has been released in versions 4.4.4 and 4.4.5., bringing support for managed queued chat requests, such as a support team might use.
and this?
nyco
sure SouL
nyco
tooling is not in debate
nyco
collboraiton is
nyco
who's willing to collaborate?
nyco
I'll make the switch IF I get help
nyco
I won't make the switch IF there is no help
nyco
so we collect on the wiki, copywrite on a pad, move it to GitHub, then the newsletter editor
nyco
suboptimal I would say
nyco
rather painful for me
nyco
adding a link in the chain is intuitively adding a pain point
SouL
How do you want to do it?
nyco
I'm doing it on the wiki
nyco
how will you collaborate?
nyco
(will you?)
nyco
over time, the XMPP Journal, the XMPP Roundup, the XMPP newsletter has traditionally been a one man effort
that can change for the bext
nyco
for now the process is super manual, quite heavy and error-prone
nyco
btw TinyLetter uses some kind of weird WYSIWYG editor
SouL
I'm a bit sad to hear that, I even wrote some newsletters, the reason I didn't take the lead is because I'm not able to do that. I unfortunately work for a company, which limits my time, I'm new in a country and I have to learn the language and many other things. I don't think I even should tell this, if I ask about how to collabrate is because I'm already doing it, depending on how much I can do it. If you can write more than me, at least I can always have my eyes and help reviewing, if I can write, then I can leave it written and you can review it. But if there is no protocol in place, of course is difficult for other people to help out

nyco
sorry
nyco
the tools we have are here
nyco
it's not about you
nyco
it's not about time and capacity
nyco
but the commTeam is not a team
nyco
there are doers, and the others
SouL
I just need to know I can edit the newsletter without having conflicts while you do it, etc
nyco
> MongooseIM 3.4.1 is out now with and important security upgrade, fixing a vulnerability that increased the chance of a cluster node crash. Read the whole thread on Twitter for more precise info.
nyco
you can
nyco
I am editing one section at a time
nyco
never the whole page
nyco
so, I wrote the servers
nyco
now I'm on the clients

nyco
btw

nyco
Dino is in the section, MongooseIM in the servers section
both has security updates
I guess Dino should go in the clients section
right?

SouL
I think so yes

nyco
ok, I moved the Dino vulnerabilities in the clients section, and moved the Monal/Airdrop in articles

There's a lot of unclarity on the communication around Kik yesterday
ralphm
So one article (by Ted Livingston) says, among other things, that they are shutting down Kik. Another talks about alledged fake text messages from him about the topic, resulting in a retracted post over at coindesk
ralphm
In any case, my view on it is that a) they had a lot of users b) having a single company be able to pull the plug on it is terrible.
ralphm
(and c) a lot of people feel entitled to the continuance of the platform, while probably not paying for it in any way)
ralphm
All in all it doesn't like the best way to communicate things.
ralphm
look like

According to statistics published by the Kin Foundation, they had between 10 and 15 million monthly active users

I've been through the newsletter and edited here and there, nyco. Thank you for the big task.
I haven't added a catchy subject yet, not sure right now what to say.
One thing though, do you feel we should call it October edition?
Even if we send it in October, I would prefer to call it September edition (or send it the last day of the month).
It is just more logical to me, what do you think?
nyco
let me check

SouL
It is just because we are talking about what has happened in September. If I say "September edition" my brain connects it to events in September
nyco
ok then, it would be better to send it before the end of the month
nyco
let's keep the date to the 1st of October this time, and call it September indeed
SouL
Yes yes, is not a problem to publish it the 1st of the next month
nyco
I'd prefer to finish the month, and send it on the first Tuesday or Wednesday of following month
SouL
For some reason in particular? Is what magazines do?
debaclehas joined
nyco
middle of week is the peak of attention and productivity
SouL
Ah, well, yeah that's right
nyco
Wed is max, then come Tue and Thu
nyco
that's why I prefer Tue or Wed
nyco
it leaves time for reader to open and read it
SouL
Tuesday is a good day
nyco
yep
SouL
The day when is published is not a problem for the name, so I'm very much +1 for Tuesdays!
nyco
ok
