XSF Communications Team - 2026-05-27

😊

Thanks to Benson!

Woahh, new look 😁

Thanks, Benson then!

Welcome

Ooh yes nice avatar 😀

I got a bit lost at first because I couldn't find the room, but now that I know what the new avatar is, it's certainly a great improvement!

On a different note, IndiaFOSS (the big Free/Open Source Software conference in India) is coming up and I'm thinking of running an "XMPP Everywhere" stall where we showcase different XMPP clients running on different devices (Android, iOS, Mobian phone, laptops, KaiOS feature phone, maybe a small XMPP-controlled LED if I can manage it)

I was wondering if it would make it an official XSF thing (i.e. XSF becomes a "community partner" of IndiaFOSS and is running the stall) or it would be better to just keep it under one of the local projects I'm part of (Prav or Durare)

Any ideas of where to ask? I'm thinking either here or SCAM team (for which I couldn't find any MUC or anything)

The event page is here btw. It's in September but applications for ~stalls~ booths has opened already: https://fossunited.org/indiafoss/2026

badrihippo: if you to make it an "official XSF", it is my understanding that that would be up for Board to decide ..

As for SCAM .. that would be scam@muc.xmpp.org

On the new avatar: thank you Benson! Great job! 👍

On the Newsletter .. you guys, I'm running pretty low in Articles for one side .. images for the other .. and the tech spec is way shorter than I thought it would be given the amount of proposed XEPs from last month

So, if you know about any interesting article (regardless of the lang) please ping me

That's fine. There will be slow times and there will be packed newsletters ✏

Yeah .. I know .. I guess I developed a bad habit from the last few months 😂

Just about every Newsletter for this year has been pretty hefty so far!

> Any ideas of where to ask? I'm thinking either here or SCAM team (for which I couldn't find any MUC or anything) Maybe discuss this through with SCAM first. Then they will advise you to continue to Board. If you write a blogpost it will be easy to promote it at least through our channels ↺

emus: will do!. I added two client updates (monal and converse.js second release for this month) and a server update (prosody) today ..

Still waiting for Fluux to finish their beta2 and release 0.16 😉

I'll see if I find the time to translate the subtitles for Axel's di.day videos to Spanish ..
