I'm thinking about creating a list for volunteer review readers. There is no mandatory thing in it, but if people offer to do so, I would call them for review each time we reach this point in the future

one or another suggestion for pictures would be nice as well if one could crawl throught the links for something nice

Впизду вам

The newsletter will be released today?

I did not understand your question 🤷‍♂️️

wurstsalat3000 are you online?

great!

can we put that together?

Gajim [1.3.0 Beta1](https://gajim.org/post/2021-01-01-gajim-1.3.0-beta-released/) and [1.3.0 Beta2](https://gajim.org/post/2021-01-09-gajim-1.3.0-beta2-released/) have been released. More than four months have passed since the release of Gajim 1.2.2. A lot has happened during this time, including a complete redesign of both Gajim’s Preferences window and configuration backend. Be the first to have a look, and help us ironing out the last issues before the final version arrives. Gajim Development News: [In December](https://gajim.org/post/2020-12-28-development-news-december/), the profile window received a complete rework, adding state of the art vCard capabilities and a brand new profile picture selector to Gajim. Furthermore, Chat Markers have been improved and some bugs have been fixed. [In January](https://gajim.org/post/2021-01-28-development-news-january/) a long anticipated feature has been implemented: direct chat messages for private group chats. Also, [@gajim is now on Fosstodon](https://fosstodon.org/@gajim)! ✏

Hmm okay ... or limit the size and put together?

I’d like to keep the Beta releases and dev post separated. Dev news could be shorted by 1-2 sentences, sure

but arent the beta rather the part to cut?

but Im fine to just leave it

emus, why? final hasn’t been released yet

is fine, but maybe it gets a bit too much at one spot to report on all beta activities. But lets keep it, is alright for now. I just want to keep the balance a bit

jcbrand - are you online? I have a question on the tiny letter subscription HTML section

Or can anyone else confirm that this still should work:

<form style="padding: 10px; text-align:center; margin-bottom: 30px;" action="https://tinyletter.com/xmpp" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('https://tinyletter.com/xmpp', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=600');return true"> <p><label for="tlemail">Subscribe to receive the next edition in your inbox</label></p> <p><input type="text" placeholder="Email address" name="email" id="tlemail" /></p> <input type="hidden" value="1" name="embed"/> <input type="submit" style="padding: 10px; border-radius: 5%" value="Subscribe" /> </form>

emus, Beta and Dev news are not necessarily about the same thing. I see that it’s more text compared to the other entries, but it’s four separate posts :)

Alright

Going ready to publish - I hope I have not forgotten anything so far

Ok - I will just try it. Hopefully it does not kill anything 🤠️

🚀️

now we have to wait 4 hours 🙁

emus I only wanted to add this sentence to the meetup link (https://mov.im/?node/pubsub.movim.eu/berlin-xmpp-meetup): > "Berlin XMPP Meetup celebrates the new Chinese year of the OX with a panel of experts discussing OpenPGP for XMPP (OX)"

Ah okay - sorry, is too late now 🙁

emus NP, next time...

Licaon_Kter, oh sorry I didn't think you could try to decipher our super heavy cryptosystem (the french language) 😅️

I'm a native romance speaker, so FR/SP/IT, and less POR/BR, are not that hard to comprehend.

Oh !

Well yeah you're up to that podcast 🙂 (courage for you others 😉)

Can you give a résumé for those who can't understand frencrypted talks?

Generic stuff so far, what's up with whatsapp, what can xmpp do...

But, that might not be surprising around these parts, but for normies it might be just the thing.

> But, that might not be surprising around these parts, but for normies it might be just the thing. That's the point. That was a show for normies

Martin, as Licaon_Kter said, there is a transcription (in french) that could be translated with your favorite tool

Wait wait, don't close the podcast (transcription) after the xmpp stuff, there's this Luk guy talking with neox about the real $hit going on with _"Use Signal"_ and Musk and he's more interesting (for techies around here I mean) :))
