XSF Communications Team - 2026-01-15

emus, shall I reply to your email to members@ including the draft PDF and reminding people to check the pad before I typeset? Just wanted to check with you once before sending

badrihippo: no, I think is okay if you drop it here. The pad was open for contribution long enough

I asked because there's renewed interest now and Guus was asking if people are aware this is happening. But okay

badrihippo: where would that be happening? I seem to be missing that conversation

gnemmi, I meant the sudden activity by a few people in this group. As for Guus' message, let me try to find it..

> Are all teams aware of that pad? Wouldn't a quick announcement on standard@ help? Also we were talking about 30s presentation for each project willing do to a small video, but I don't know if it will be thing or not at the end. This is the message I meant. I see you already responded to it later gnemmi ↺

So maybe I'm the one who was missing a bit of the conversation, whoops

(And I also misattributed who sent the message)

Anyway in summary let me wait for goffi who wanted a bit more time to add stuff and then I'll finalise the content

I see you already responded to it later gnemmi Oh .. yeah .. emus sent the announcement to @members on Dec 28 2025, and also made the same announcement on the XSF MUC on the very seme date ... so, yes .. everyone was or should've been aware of it. ↺

> Anyway in summary let me wait for goffi who wanted a bit more time to add stuff and then I'll finalise the content Sure!! 👍🤗 ↺

Oh and emus I saw your feedback about trying to keep it short. I will remember to activate my "rephrase it in less words" hat while editing 🙂

OK I've check the logs for year 2025 on my side (for Libervia only, not counting the work on specs and side things). Beside major redesigns/code improvements which are still in progress and probably not interesting in this flyer context, I think that the highlights are: - the email <=> XMPP gateway with deep integration, the work on forums (and conversion of mailing lists to XMPP forums, I'll demo that at summit BTW), - Data Policy (a spec + implementation to show how data are handled). I think this is a major thing (and particularly in these times), but I'm not sure how to formulate that to show it. - Tor integration - WIP on e2e encryption with Gateways ✏

I can try to formulate this in short sentences if it help. But not tonight I'm going to bed now :).

Good night .o/

> Oh and emus I saw your feedback about trying to keep it short. I will remember to activate my "rephrase it in less words" hat while editing 🙂 By saying this I just intend to guide a bit. Not restrict by hard. We should have a variety of entrys in the document is my point. ↺

And please dont make this rocket science :-)
