is that of interest? https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07/04/xml-an-explanation/ ↺

Not directly related to XMPP, but I do find it interesting; it's not that often that one sees an article just about XML!

Maybe keep it for the next newsletter, as I don't think it's worth going through last-minute insertion for this one?

I saw that one today on Mastodon, read the article and share badrihippo opinion in the sense that I found it interesting but not as pertaining to the XMPP ecosystem .. I did save the link regardless

Personally, I found this one to be of actual real interest: https://mastodon.social/@fsfe/114772382432613791

I did ask around a few days ago but got no feedback at all

> Personally, I found this one to be of actual real interest: https://mastodon.social/@fsfe/114772382432613791 Kinda uninteresting for FOSS developers afaik. You can't sign a NDA and work with private access keys etc. in an open source project. ↺

And other commercial vendors rarely have interest in interoperability. Even Element seems to have given up on their WhatsApp access via the DMA.

Exactly. That's what makes it interesting: sharing the story. Exposing the fact that developer X "did" requested interoperability under the DMA and came up empty handed because of "share your story here"

The whole point being: did you or did you not request interoperability under the DMA?. Because if you did and failed then there's a path of action .. but if you didn't or never cared then the DMA is just a tiger on paper.
