gnemmi. What is the expected schedule of the next publication?

There is a progress with FASI, and I guess that it will be reasonably usable by the publication of November.

October issue?

November the 5th

Great. I hope it would be ready by then.

Thank you.

And that's going to be the last Newsletter of the year if I'm not mistaken

I think there would be another issue in the beginning of December (covering November) For December/January there usually is a combined issue.

Oh. Good to know. I'm pretty positive I read that November was the last one of the year. Thanks for the update on that!

Last year and the year before that both had an issue published on 12-05

Good to know 👍

cal0pteryx, Still .. I knew I wasn't making things up ..: you can scroll all the way down and read the last two lines from the Editorial closing of the XMPP Newsletter September '24 release ( https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1439 )

Maybe emus can clarify :)
