XSF Communications Team - 2024-04-12

I'd like to report that I went to FOSSASIA few days ago. Although due to time contraint, I couldn't setup a booth, stickers, (girls in bikinis, free booze) etc for XMPP, I did managed to get a few hackers interested to look at `https://xmpp.org`.

Hopefuly more people will join us from Asia 😁

Trung: 👍

Trung: that's great! :)

The bikini thing is interesting, we should discuss about it 😂

> Hopefuly more people will join us from Asia 😁 👍

Trung, Mari0: i understand the booth babes comments are a joke and I'm aware of the history at some of these conferences, but I think it's a bit off colour for this venue

Well there were people presenting stuff in Powerpoint on a Mac... it felt a bit odd ✏

yeah this is not how you get more people to join

There were Apple distributor and Etherium right at the entrance while FSFE and Alma Linux and the GuardianProject upstair

if fossasia is like fossdem it makes sense

Anyway, on the upside, I met Roger Dingledine 😁

> if fossasia is like fossdem it makes sense Oh yeah? Yeah i guess they have to cover costs somehow

> Trung, Mari0: i understand the booth babes comments are a joke and I'm aware of the history at some of these conferences, but I think it's a bit off colour for this venue ok, It's friday and I'm joking 🤣️

Mari0: yes, I know, we just want to keep the space clean and welcoming :)

no, prob

:)

Great you participated Trung!

Trung: do you have recommendation in which asian languages we could best try to tranlsate the XMPP Newsletter?

Chinese?

We'd need some chinese speakers who want to translate first. Trung is Vietnamese iirc.

Happy to have any more language

deepl translation from english to japanese works quite well

Yeah, but I would love to have at least one human instance inbetween

can one actually the text structure and website in a meaningful way with such languages?

don't actually the text

I guess you mean preserving the markdown structure :) I was wondering as well
