Line 45 gateways) should be comma

Line 67 yeah 7.1 but breaks group omemo :( https://github.com/tigase/siskin-im/issues/164 can we add a warning?

emus: email is still broken?

Re empty xep sections > 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 :-(" Can those be skipped too?

Looks good otherwise but I'm afk so I can't correct that typo

Thanks, I think I need some food first, then I will start working on this

Sam

this is the correct text?

Mellium Co-op has released [v0.21.0](https://pkg.go.dev/mellium.im/xmpp@v0.21.0) and [v0.21.1](https://pkg.go.dev/mellium.im/xmpp@v0.21.1) of the [melium.im/xmpp](https://mellium.im/xmpp/) library for Go! Highlights for this release include basic support for PubSub and PEP as well as In-Band Bytestreams. More information can be found in the [release announcement](https://opencollective.com/mellium/updates/new-release-mellium-im-xmpp-v0-21-0). Version 0.21.1 fixes a security issue that was discovered in the websocket package and should be preferred when updating. For more information see [CVE-2022-24968](https://mellium.im/cve/cve-2022-24968/).

Licaon_Kter - yes email is still broken and tinyletter has not replied or done any actions. I will treat this as over. If someone is quicker than me, I would appreciate if a comparison matrix with features, requirements (and even costs per mail/month) could be created. That would be necessary to find a replacement

emus: :( thanks

Sorry 😕

thanks for your comments

LK, this OMEMO & Tigase thing, is that officially broken?

LK, I agree to shown this on news - but in terms of status and progress I think this is also an indication of status if nothing happened. I would like to keep it

There no new build fixing it Also, it might not matter if everyone has updated since Apple devices work like this Meh

I cannot follow really^^

Nevermind, carry on

ok

singpolyma

emus: that's fine I guess, there was another section about the monthly update too that someone else added to the pad that appears to be gone

I can take the picutre? https://blog.jmp.chat/b/2022-bidirectional-gateways

emus: sure

Sam, can you help me there and check the timeline?

The timeline doesn't appear to work? I can move the slider around, but the text never changes

oh, no, wait, there it goes; just takes a longn time

emus: see https://yopad.eu/p/xmpp-newsletter-365days/timeslider#22500

Can I put th communique to the article section? Or is this in particular on Libs?

anywhere's fine with me :)

but would you also agree to this in as meaningful suggestion?

If you haven't already, here's the big that got left out of the pad: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1090

Hello everyone! Here is the Italian translation of the newsletter: https://www.nicfab.it/it/posts/newsletter-xmpp/newsletter-xmpp-2022-febbraio/

nicfab: Great! Many thanks! ☺

emus: here .... daimonduff and marevalo

> nicfab: Great! Many thanks! ☺ You are welcome

nicfab: > Benvenuti alla Newsletter XMPP del mese di novembre 2021 - l’ultima uscita per quest’anno! Dopo la nostra pausa editoriale torneremo nel febbraio 2022! something about november?

TheCoffeMaker: ahh, could you PR?

What do you mean? I don’t remember 😊

mese di novembre 2021?

emus: yeah ... Giveme afew minutes ... im tryi g to get out of bed

TheCoffeMaker: not rush

😅

good morning

no rush*

> mese di novembre 2021? I did it. Here is the newsletter: https://www.nicfab.it/it/posts/newsletter-xmpp/newsletter-xmpp-di-novembre-2021-versione-italiana/

nicfab:

@emus what do you mean? I don’t understand

In the translation for this latest newsletter you seem to write about november 2021? I think you mistook something from somewhere

> Newsletter XMPP di *febbraio 2022* - versione italiana > 5 marzo 2022 > · 7 minuti · NicFab > Benvenuti alla Newsletter XMPP del mese di *novembre 2021*

nicfab: another question. could you keep the xep status first in English and then in brackets the Italian translation?

> In the translation for this latest newsletter you seem to write about november 2021? > I think you mistook something from somewhere Yes, you are right. I am sorry! It was a typo from the previous newsletter. I have corrected just now

> nicfab: another question. could you keep the xep status first in English and then in brackets the Italian translation? I changed all to English; I think that is the best solution. It’s better to leave technical words in English because they don’t render in Italian I am sure that Italian people understand

ok! no need to excuse ☺

emus ... will PR not only adding daimonduff and marevalo ... but delete Damian Sartori ... who is me

emus ... done ... later will send the translation PR we are working on it

TheCoffeMaker: Many thanks. will ask for deploy after everthing has been merged

👌️

Jeybe, TheCoffeMaker, nicfab, neox: after the last tweet, did actually anyone new reach out to you to support translations?

yeap ... but not through twitter

ah ok

got to more people in xmpp:es-translators@conference.cyberdelia.com.ar?join willing to contribute but they are not online right now

TheCoffeMaker: yeah, ok. cool. no, lets not force. they will come and hopefully more

yeah ... taking it easy

> I changed all to English; I think that is the best solution. It’s better to leave technical words in English because they don’t render in Italian > I am sure that Italian people understand That's the way we handle it to, we leave technical XEP terms english ✏

> Jeybe, TheCoffeMaker, nicfab, neox: > after the last tweet, did actually anyone new reach out to you to support translations? Nothing that resulted in something concrete

Jeybe: ok, lets see

emus: nope

That's not important by the way since the french translation is already collaborative

If anyone wants to help, they can do that through LinuxFR

Okay great. But I was not meant to find someone other doing but bring more people in the respective teams to support you and keep the work load per person low

Hello XSF folks! I (emus) started an initiative to celebrate XMPP this year. I have a loose idea to collect statements from the community, developers, users, projects etc. I cannot state yet that we will post all of them and how, to ensure some quality. But let's start with collection. We can discuss later how we going to deal with it best. Tell a "tweetable" story, experience, background about XMPP. Why do you use it, why do you think its great? Why are you involved? How did you come to XMPP? What ever you think that affects this and suits! We should go for a wide spectrum of stories! Date: Well, I see people might can take this as a joke - but we can find a work around maybe - open for suggestions! https://yopad.eu/p/xmpp-celebration2022 Let me know if things needs to be board approved or whatever I don't see here! What do you think? :-) Cheers Eddie

Very much in time!

emus: i like it ... Also was thinking on that we can take advantage of FLISOL, which is a FLOSS installation festival on the whole LATAM ... It would be a good opportunity to spread the word and make more visible for LATAM the public servers that like to be announced
