XSF Communications Team - 2026-01-18

Hello everyone!

ralphm, around?

Ok. Way too late over here. I just found out that Fosdem released the information in regarding the stands and created a new blog post entry with the updated information.

https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1629

ralphm, if you have the time, please take a look at it as to confirm that the information is correct.

I would really appreciate that 👍

*Due to organizational issues, this year the XMPP & Realtime Lounge has been reallocated to the AW building, Level 1.*

Also added all the information related to the XMPP talks on the track and fixed a typo

4:47 .. time to hit the sack!

zzzZZzz

gnemmi, thank you very much! Please keep meaningful times for you efforts 🙂

When you are back, can you also push a correction to the previous blog post?

badrihippo I have one more idea: A small QR code on the back page for the link?

I got an offer from digitalcourage to take care of flyer production and later distribution, if we finish the flyer by tomorrow: https://codeberg.org/ge0rg/fosdem-2026-xmpp-diday

Thats great news!

emus: patches welcome

> When you are back, can you also push a correction to the previous blog post? Will do in a few hours! I just woke up for a minute and back to bed ( just woke up for a technicall stop 🚹 ) ↺

arne, around?

goffi, edhelas ?

?

Sorry to bother, but I'm putting together a section of the XMPP at Fosdem blog entry and I need to know .. would you be giving away Movim stickers?

same question goes to arne and goffi

Hi here. Yes I'll have some monocles stickers

arne, perfect!. I'll add them to the list of stickers that will be available at the XMPP stand!

Thank you!

Thank you gnemmi !

Those ones

Perfect!. Will add Movim stickers too!!

- And .. say what? Sticker? Oh my you are in for a treat .. because there will be more stickers than you can dream of! XMPP logo stickers, OMEMO, Movim, Dino, Monocles Chat, Conversations IM, Quiksy, Libervia, ... you name it! ( And who knows? Maybe somebody will even be there presenting the new mascot for their project!! ).

arne, edhelas ☝️

I know you are very excited and I like that, but can we reduce a bit the "excitement volume" of the expression 😅 and are you sure all other stickers will be present? ↺

> emus: patches welcome Where do you want me to place the comments? ↺

XMPP logo and Omemo stickers are listed in the wiki, Daniel confirmed the Conversation and Quicksy stickers on the SCAM MUC a few hours ago (unless I got that wrong), arne confirmed the Monocles stickers and edhelas did so with the Movim ones .. the only ones I'm not postitive about are the Libervia stickers ( waiting for goffi to confirm ) and the Dino stickers ( don't know who to ask )

but .. sitckers being stickers .. you can always argue "they flew aways as soon as we laid it on the table!"

"we got ransacked!"

Also, emus I added the ##What to Expect section to the PR. And there are quite a few comments from dwd to resolve before merging. ✏

Just got a confirmation from Daniel, there will be some Conversations stickers, no Quicksy stickers though, so I already deleted them from the blog post PR

"And .. say what? Sticker? Oh my you are in for a treat .. because there will be more stickers than you can dream of! XMPP logo stickers, OMEMO, Movim, Dino, Monocles Chat, Conversations IM, Libervia, ... you name it! ( And who knows?

Can't help being south american .. 😊

That was the wrong line

This is how it looks now:

"And .. say what? Sticker? You are in for a treat! XMPP logo stickers, OMEMO, Movim, Dino, Monocles Chat, Conversations IM, Libervia, ... you name it! ( And who knows? Maybe somebody will even be there presenting the new mascot for their project!! )."

gnemmi: I'll bring some remaining NLnet stickers and I may print other ones but I'm not sure at all that I'll make it in time.

At least NLnet ones anyway

goffi, perfect! And thank you for your confirmation! 🤗

So .. yeah .. there will be plenty of stickers .. and of all sorts 😎

badrihippo: sorry, that was out of context. It was related to the DI.DAY flyer, I don't think it applies to the XMPP News one

Oh I see Ge0rG. That gives me some breathing space 😌

Will still aim to work on it tomorrow though!

badrihippo: out of curiosity, would you also provide the editable file?

Yep

Images are not embedded, so I'd have to provide a zip with the Scribus file + associated images

badrihippo: not in a hurry, just so we don't start at zero next year

Sure ✏

Also not sure if I replied to emus' message but yes I can add a QR code!

> *Due to organizational issues, this year the XMPP & Realtime Lounge has been reallocated to the AW building, Level 1.* Oh really ? That's a pity! AW building location isn't great and there are far less visitors than in building K.

But they have grouped with Delta Chat, Linphone and Matrix which is good.

we can increase our range with the high-power transmitters of the ham radio folks!

> badrihippo: out of curiosity, would you also provide the editable file? Yes, please let's find a place in our repo. ↺

Hello everyone, Just a short info that I am not availble from Monday night till wednesday lunch time due to a private incident. Luckily, gnemmi is so kind to take over the coming focus session for the Chat of the Future Initative. Thank you for that! 🙏
