emus: I opened #1066 :)

great

emus, I'm just doing another quick pass over the newsletter. I can't remember if we've had this discussion before, but I'd like to remove empty sections such as "Libraries"

Instead of the current text "No news has reached us :-("

It's totally okay to not have any news about a particular section of the community for a month - nothing to be sad about :)

ok, is fine to me. do you want to PR?

It portrays it as negative, and may lead people unnecessarily to think that no activity is happening. I'd rather focus on what has been happening, instead.

Sure

Im on the run

agreed

Submitted a new review with some other minor fixes

I noticed you committed all the others individually. You can do that if you prefer, but know that you can also go to https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1037/files and use "Add suggestion to batch" to merge them all in one commit..

Thanks matt for all the commit

ahh, ok

should do it

Alright guys. now is the perfect time to do a review if you planned and havent done yet. Release is planned for tomorrow. If you want you are also invited to suggest pictures from the news you like

Ah cool, I don't think I'd figured out how to add those sorts of inline PR suggestions until now.

Did a quick pass; mostly looks good but I noticed a few incorrect dates and fixed the tweaks I suggseted about Mellium the other day; sorry for being unclear!

Will be working on ES translation tonight, didnt have time last days 😶

TheCoffeMaker: Many thanks. You don't need to be ready by tomorrow.

are you guys alright that I use this image in the newsletter?

Yes, that's fine

Great!

guys .. is that a client? A new XMPP component has been published and could use some feedback. The component implements a webhook transport that lets users (not just the person hosting the component, but anyone they choose to allow) create HTTP endpoints to receive events on and translate those to XMPP messages. Webhook payloads are processed by middleware and the XMPP notifications are template-based and written in EJS. It currently comes with GitLab and plain Git (yes, plain Git) integrations as well as a crude and untested Slack middleware, but it also understands plain text and PNG, JPEG and PDF content, which is sent to subscribers as attachments via HTTP File Upload (XEP-0363).

The code is far from production quality but the developer would welcome any and all comments and suggestions to inform further development. The main repository is hosted at https://gitlab.com/navlost.eu/xmpp/components/webhooks and there is also a demo server available for casual testing.

I think I need to squeeze that down a bit

MattJ I assume you are also alright with the export picture from one blog post, right?

nice nicola that you have a new hugo setup for your website 🙂

There were many contributors this time, I am not sure if I caught everyone so let me know if you dont find you name in the latest state
