we should mention this aswell in the newsletter?

Maybe something along the lines of "While we appreciate the EU Parliament taking control over their communications by using a self-hosted solution (Cisco Jabber is self hosted right?), we ask why not go a step further and chose a truely open system based on a truely open standard like XMPP?" with a link to xmpp.org's server software page plus maybe a link that clarifies the differences between Cisco Jabber and XMPP.

And maybe replace "we ask why not" with "we encourage them to".
