XSF Communications Team - 2020-03-14

Al bit late, but here is se Tscherman release form January, the rest will follow https://www.jabber.de/xmpp-newsletter-frohes-neues-xmpp-jahr-14-januar-2020/

Anyone wants to commit redactions for the February translations?

https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/German_Newsletter_translation_of_February_2020

https://www.jabber.de/xmpp-universum-mit-voller-geschwindigkeit-04-feb-2020/

Who posted that link: https://post.lurk.org/@pep/103736689790093261 it doesnt work anymore

hmm

let me find you a public link for that last link

https://post.lurk.org/@pep/103736700377632789

ok

ah there was your name inside, havent seen it

:)

emus, do you know how to PR (and then edit) such a text btw? I think you can go ahead

I personally prefer to review when it's in PR form

You meant to put it on github for PR?

yeah

I'm currently reading the wiki page

Basically yes.

pep.: havent finished yet

a few links are missing the formulation. will eat, then continue

I'm curious if we should poke organizers of Berlin to ask if the sprint is cancelled

no worries :)

I think they might announce that in a few days, but they have been talking about remote communication in the sprint channel for a few days

I agree

What security scandal? The thing with the groupchat links?

yeah ~

I just retweeted stuff tbh

The EFF actually retweeted^Wretooted it later on

emus, missing matching ] around MongooseIM?

I don't especially like the thing around the 12 bytes, especially without mentioning why (well there is a link to inputmice's thread above but still..)

Monal is not even mentioned

But hmm, how does that even affect things etc.

There's a missing section on GSoC?

pep.: there's a whole section for Monal it self, no enough blog posts there?

Ah right. A paragraph yeah :p

About Monal...so many links but no mention of > 4.4 Feb 29, 2020

Also the wiki doesn't seem to like newlines (looking at XEPs)

emus, the "Call for Experience" and "Last Call" are actually over, so maybe the phrase "please answer the following questions" can be said differently

I only used selected post for Monal. Many post are only short sentenece or do not really make sense to extra mention

I will make a note

emus: yeah, ok, but do add that latest is 4.4 or modify it in "4.3 and 4.4"

ok

but 4.4 ist in march specifically. I mean, I don't care really, because its 1st of March and makes sense already to put it there. However, I don't know how picky you are on this?

https://monal.im/blog/monal-4-4-for-ios-and-mac-are-out/

Ok re berlin, let's not say something definitive, just.. a sprint has been planned in berlin or sth

Maybe I just remind to frequently check the situation on the sprint because of the situation with COV-ID19

I cannot find this article anymore: https://hund.linuxkompis.se/2020/02/13/hur-du-kommer-igang-med-xmpp-pa-android.html

pep. but there is a mentioning of the Sprints already

Right.. I feel a bit confused because we're already mid-march and a sprint has already happened and we've got more context :p

Ignore me

We just gonna send it. I mentioned in the beginnnig that we are late. People will see that it already happened. However, for documentation it's good to just have it I think

okay

what about GSoC?

imnplemented

hmm?

I don't see anything on the wiki page

pep. I will deleted you twitter lurk link as the information is already written via the official article

k

yes, I havent sumbit yet

submit

link the mastodon link maybe then? Maybe we can stop promoting private platforms :p

let me find the EFF post

not eff, fsfe

After a recent [https://www.dw.com/en/whatsapp-security-flaw-over-60000-groups-still-accessible-online/a-52543414 secruity flaw in WhatsApp groups], the FSFE recommends XMPP as [https://fsfe.org/news/2020/news-20200228-01.en.html decentral and open alternative amd solution]. The XSF tweeted about this already.

Am I on the wrong track?

https://mastodon.social/@fsfe/103736905229241090

> Maybe we can stop promoting private platforms

?

Twitter.

Twitter is quite far from what XMPP stands for

standard / extensible / decentralized

Okay, I agree, but in that manner I prefer the primary source (not that Twitter is a decent one^^)

The primary source is the FSFE :p

link the article then yeah

So is okay, as I did it?

submitted in the wiki

> 4.4 Feb 29, 2020 As seen in App store, yeah...blogpost is one day (or hours) later

ok fine, I put it in already

was that hund link from you aswell?

A?

> I cannot find this article anymore: > https://hund.linuxkompis.se/2020/02/13/hur-du-kommer-igang-med-xmpp-pa-android.html

I would be really happy to put this as one of the pictures: https://image.spreadshirtmedia.net/image-server/v1/products/T814A1PA3795PT17X12Y10D138973805S23/views/1,width=650,height=650,appearanceId=1,backgroundColor=f6f6f6/design-of-15-years-of-jabberplorg-xmpp-server.jpg 😀 😀 😀

emus: ummm strange Put this in place if not already in https://hund.linuxkompis.se/2020/02/18/hur-du-kommer-igang-med-conversations-pa-android.html

There's a note on top, i guess they updated it ✏

Licaon_Kter: ok

thx

May you summarize whats it about for the readers?

there are three possible pictures, we can put in the newsletter: https://discourse.igniterealtime.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8a20644093cdefad9f3d16e92a7a3d83c9a1fffe.png https://movim.eu/img/chatroom.png https://snikket.org/images/pixel_quite_black_portrait.png

I suggest we decide on two of those

Licaon_Kter: Is the article about how to setup conversations?

That's only my own opinion but I really can't do Pade :/ Too much colors, too much things

Then you vote on the other both? 😀

Yes, the screen hsot quality is not good

yeah I guess

screenshot

plus that, the screenshot is really not good quality

Would vote the same way

Any other opinions?

So @all, the editing is basically done. You can cross-check. Otherwise I will proceed to drop it to github

Right after this one I guess we should start March btw :p

Seeing how long we spent on this one

😀 I'm already done for today 🙈️

Thanks!

👍

We actually need to revise how to manage this 🤔️ I think including translating is many stupid copy paste etc and waste of resources

pep. https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/689

The upload of the the pictures we should discuss tomorrow. Dunno how you want to have it implemented. Good night

okay!

night
