XSF Communications Team - 2021-04-06

Thank you. I can translate the newsletter in Italian if you agree and there is the needing. It’s a matter of time …. unfortunately.

Hey nicola, I would be very happy if you would like to do that. Do you have a place to publish it?

> Hey nicola, I would be very happy if you would like to do that. > Do you have a place to publish it? I might publish the newsletter on my blog if you agree: https://www.nicfab.it

nicola: yes is fine

Ok, I start working

just write add a note that you do the translation ✏

Here is the Italian translation of the XMPP March Newsletter: https://www.nicfab.it/la-newsletter-xmpp-di-marzo-2021-versione-italiana/ Regarding the formatting, it depends on the css. I tried to maintain the same style as the international. I hope you enjoy it.

« And we are on YouTube now! » is it really a improvement for federations ?

Raising attention is, certainly.

nicola: great, can you add this to the pad?

anubis: Yes, I see your point. But we have few options to run this here as a full-stack opensource communication team and have to stick to the limited ressources we have 🙁

> nicola: great, can you add this to the pad? What pad, sorry?

nicola: see the MUC description. Does you client show it? ✏

> nicola: see the MUC description. Does you client show it? I hope to have done all correctly. Please, let me know

Thanks!

emus (XSF Com. Team), I understand you can reach more people through YouTube, but you should at least host the videos in // on a PeerTube instance (https://tube.privacytools.io/videos/trending for instance ?) and recommend to use PeerTube. If not, you are going to empower the GAFAM network...

anubis: are you volunteering to set one up or find a good one and maintain the channel or find a way to sync it with YouTube?

Because we've been over this, and that's a lot harder than just using YouTube. I'd love to do it too, but we can't just take on extra work for the relatively few people who are using PeerTube.

Yes, this ^

_Chicken & egg_ ✏

Sure. but the issue is not that we wont do it because of few people, but because of service quality + ressources

Sam, well, I'm not an expert in that field, but if you have some place somewhere I can give a try; do you have a test server for this ?

> because of service quality should we already expect thousand of views ? :p

Maybe 😛

anubis: no, sorry. Lack of resources os part of the problem.

An existing instance would probably be best.

hm, i actually fear that this would not behave like a channel concept (from my understanding; gathering relevant videos related to xmpp versus listing all videos with xmpp tag)

anubis: you mean for the youtube channel?

All we need is a place to upload videos, not a place to gather existing videos (although we could do that in a playlist or something too)

Sam: Thats what I was recommending for the Office hours

emus (XSF Com. Team): what do you mean?

Oh, a playlist of just office hours? Yah, I made that

ok

See https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf3Kq2ElJDFQhYDdjn18RuA/playlists

nice

Sam, I updated the slides

Can you drop the new ones into the BBB?

vanitasvitae: will do; thanks

🙂

I may not be able to make it into the room early today to check audio and the like due to a conflicting meeting, so I'll set it to allow anyone to start it about 30 minutes before hand in case you want to join and test anything

(although I'll probably get out of my meeting in plenty of time, but you never know, it may run long)

Quick update, I moved the checklist for hosts to https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Office_Hours_Checklist in case anyone else ends up doing it later (for now I'll just keep doing it and this is more for my reference, but I wanted to share what I've been doing)

vanitasvitae: can you link me to the slides again?

Oh, or is it the same link?

https://cloud.jabberhead.tk/s/YQnPrXZAHnGezt7

yeah the same link

Updated. Thanks

vanitasvitae: your mastodon post says "about half an hour", but it's at 1400 UTC which is in an hour and a half

1600 UTC, I mean

oh wait, summer time 😀

*whew* I was worried I put something down wrong on the calendar :)

😀

my bad 😀

quickly deleted the post

well, its an additional hour of nervous waiting then 😛

Heh, I know that feel. Don't worry, it'll be great!

And if it's not, the punishment is only excommunication from the XSF and all internet related activities, so no pressure.

Fixed it

😛

Thanks!

(i'll have more time in the next 2 weeks to make some try regarding PeerTube; in between, are all your videos under a libre license ? I cannot see the license)

Both of the current videos are CC-BY

anubis: to get you up to speed, https://tilvids.com came up as instance suggestion, too

Sam: I guess the talk was okay enough to be published ;)

vanitasvitae: I was just writing a message to ask :) thanks! That really was useful and I think it will be very helpful for people who couldn't be here

Are you okay with CC-BY for the license?

Sure :)

Thanks; it takes ages for the render to finish but once it does I'll go back and trim out some silence between questions and what not and then upload and put the link in the schedule

👍

That's great. I didn't see it, as I'm on a business trip. ✏

Guess we have our first YT Follower! 💹💲

(as additional advantage to migrate to PeerTube, we could make good use of https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/peertube-plugin-livechat )

For the 4th or 5th time? https://blog.prosody.im/introducing-snikket/ MattJ: reading in the MUC back in January, iOS was like days or a week away, omemo groups live, default settings tweaked, banner colour almost mustardy.... but now 3 months later and I thought I missed the release message, yet, there's still none? :(

Sam: nice :)
