no idea how the article i did on xmpp went viral but it received around 30K views
Ramiro Romani
it just got picked up on hacker news and that was it
Ramiro Romani
imo xmpp is setup to gain a lot of users this year
Ramiro Romani
i am trying to insert it in every relevant conversation
Ramiro Romani
for instance, disroot just shut down their matrix instance because of privacy concerns
Ramiro Romani
a privacy focused community ditched matrix in favor of xmpp. that could be spun into a huge win
Ramiro Romani
but it needs people to shed light on the story
Ramiro Romani
dw i got y'alls backs
Ramiro Romani
and will try to stay updated with new developments here

FWIW there is no chance of a virtual FOSDEM stand for us this year
MattJ
They only invited people who applied for a stand last year, and we didn't
emus
really? omg...
Licaon_Kter
Wtf?! It's virtual so what's the issue!?!
MattJ
I think each stand has a Matrix channel and a website section. They said they have some process that has to run to generate them, and it takes days. They said they don't have the volunteer power to handle more than last year.
MattJ
I strongly feel that we, as a community, need to do something this year
emus
just wow

Yes - but Matt - focus on your own situation first
MattJ
I'm happy to help out with it (not for a couple of months at least though)
MattJ
But we should start coming up with ideas
emus
im alread GSoC admin so thats covered :)
MattJ
That's good
MattJ
You've been doing a good job promoting that :)

emus, I really don't know yet
MattJ
Something like an online summit, but also with a side of outreach to folks outside the usual community

Which is what a normal year in Brussels used to give us

"Its decentralized, they said" :P

emus
yes, I would really like to actively support such an event
vanitasvitae
Did you already sent a mail with contact address and pentabarf accounts to stands@fosdem.org in case they do another run?
vanitasvitae
Thats what they recommended here https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2022q1/003378.html

At the moment I translate the thoughts (alternatives to WhatsApp, interoperability, E2EE, pseudo security) to englisch - they are going to be published (hopefully) the next few days. If you like the content, a link in the "hacker news" (and everywere else) would be nice.
