cal0pteryx, congrats on the release !!

thanks!

> Could somebody please confirm it is not just me who is getting a completely blank pad? Also, in re the pad: 👆 ↺

It has been like that since, at least, last wednesday

strange that there are no older versions available

mathieui, good to have you around. I left a comment on your toot about your last release

maybe we should look for a different pad provider

cal0pteryx, don't worry about that. I can fix us a new pad in a matter of seconds. Do you want me to?

gnemmi, yes thanks, I postponed it a bit since it requires re-editing the announcement in a different format

mathieui, oh!. Ok. Good to know. I still added an entry for it on my local version of the Newsletter

> cal0pteryx, don't worry about that. I can fix us a new pad in a matter of seconds. Do you want me to? That would be great. I'm wondering why its content was removed though. ↺

cal0pteryx, could have been that the pad was already 2 years old, and they have a hard cut?

> That would be great. I'm wondering why its content was removed though. Either somebody made an unwillful mistake or acted in just plain bad faith .. ↺

or that .. 👆

> cal0pteryx, could have been that the pad was already 2 years old, and they have a hard cut? That could well be the answer. I vaguely remember something like that ↺

Ok gnemmi, it would be great if you could re-create the pad

gnemmi, the bad faith actor would have kept us the pad history though

cal0pteryx, I just did .. still now showing up for you?

gnemmi, now it is, thanks! :)

mathieui, yup ... good point, didn't think about that

cal0pteryx, you are always welcome my friend!

Still .. since we are all here now, please take your time to review and add any news that you may deem worthy as I am probably creating the PR today ( or in the worst case scenario: tomorrow ) with what's already on the pad!!

I have an Etherpad here if you need an alternative: https://pads.slrpnk.net ✏

Kris, good to know .. we can always use as fallback ..

👍

gnemmi, release publication should be up now

mathieui, perfect!. I had already added the link and just verified it works like it should now!

seems like a release day ;)

I'm really happy to see all those awesome XMPP softwares getting better ! You rock ! 🫶

Kris, we are _so_ ahead in time .. the pad already has 0.6.1 😎

- [prose-web-app](https://github.com/prose-im/prose-app-web) has released versions [0.6.0](https://github.com/prose-im/prose-app-web/releases/tag/0.6.0) and [0.6.1](https://github.com/prose-im/prose-app-web/releases/tag/0.6.1) of its Web implementation of the [Prose](https://prose.org/) app.

ah ;)

Kris, bleeding edge news!

edhelas, the expectation on cat pictures doing video-conferencing on movim are *really high* over here 😸

Well I'll have to update movim.eu with new screenshots, and I'll have to find more cats doing video-conferencing indeed because many of them can join one conference now 😺

Im eagerly wating to see all the cats video-conferencing like champs!! 😹

Seeing their faces on the cameras always kills me!! 😻

I'm wondering if we could organize, during one big IT even such as FOSDEM or CCC, a grouped presentation between a few XMPP clients together. Like a 30min presentation of the XMPP ecosystem and how we interact eachothers. That would be a really nice way to say "look XMPP rocks, we work together and we have plenty of nice features now".

Like one slide each "Movim is your browser, he also have this and this feature, is compatible with the other clients and also offers social network as a plus"

That would be pretty awesome indeed. Please conunt me in 👍
