emus: is it out already? :)

fuck...🤦‍♂️ I just thought about it at 7pm yesterday

emus: sure, people can drop them here as well But we could point anyone dropping links/summaries to that pad. If some don't, we can quickly add that content ourselves. This way, we would have a single doc for everyone to check if these news are known already (without scrolling through a month of backlog).

wurstsalat: The point is, the we go back to people likely only dropping links as in the wiki. I prefer they write at least a bit

emus: I see a pad as 'github PR without hurdles'. What's different when comparing a pad and this chat, in regard to link-dropping?

You are right, but here is less anonymous and I can ask people directly to may write sonething up 😀

Sure. I guess what I want most is a place to gather news, which is easy to access for everyone. At the moment I try to remember/create bookmarks/keep mails/pr as soon as I find the time. A pad would help organise these notes

Hmm, Im sceptical, because that needs a lot more work from my side

Would it? I'd edit those pad entries every now and then during the month :)

Hmm, I think so. Also, then I do the commits, I prefer to see that others did - not for work, but for participation reasons. I think I will do the 2020 recap mid of december and then "we all" can discuss if you want

How many have subscribed to the XMPP newsletter?

Here is the picture for a tweet: https://twitter.com/xmpp/status/1324664622025236481/photo/1

Mastodon, Twitter, LinkedIn.. I think we are all set 🙂

emus, yes, mwild1 and I know each other very well :)

Licaon_Kter, I'm MattJ on Twitter. You won't believe how many times I get people wanting to have (sometimes buy) the username from me...

😋️ how much?!

The email newsletter has 654 subcribers

Wow, nice :)

I should go back and get stats on what I've been offered... obviously nothing large enough for me to actually give it up :)

sorry Mattj, i miss typed, it "just" 465

:D

Still, that's not an insignificant number

Yes, but I think there is some spam in it (who the f*ck subrcibe a robot or spam?)

> Yes, but I think there is some spam in it (who the f*ck subrcibe a robot or spam?) What?

lets say there are some very weird email like 2020@somedomain.xyz

Who knows, maybe someone using throw-away addresses per-subscription, which get collected by the real mail account (or something of the like)

That's what I also wondered sometimes
