    ### XMPP at FOSSY 2026 This year's edition of [FOSSY](https://2026.fossy.ca/), the fourth Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference, will take place during the month of August, from Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th 2026 at the [University of British Columbia](https://www.ubc.ca/), Vancouver, Canada. As always, there will be an [XMPP Track](https://2026.fossy.ca/pages/tracks/) and the [call for proposals](https://2026.fossy.ca/call-for-proposals/) is open until April 30th, 2026. Once again, this year the [soprani.ca](https://soprani.ca/) project is pleased to announce its annual offer for funding to the potential attendees who may be struggling with financial limitations, especially to those who would like to give an XMPP related talk. Please, join us at [discuss@conference.soprani.ca](xmpp:discuss@conference.soprani.ca?join), and don't hesitate to ask for more information!

    or maybe I should make that : " funding to the potential attendees who would like to give an XMPP related talk"

    so as to narrow the target audience for the funding .. ✏

    So I'd say JMP or MBOR not Sopranica. Sopranica is the open source project. And I'd be specific about "speakers" not "attendees" in general. But otherwise seems good

    [JMP](https://jmp.chat/) ?
