Hello everyone, A final call for reviews and feedback on the XMPP Newsletter May 2026. Please provide your comments by tomorrow. https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1683

Please also remember to merge before 5 pm CEST

emus, I already went all over cal0pteryx really thourough review and added a picture for Monocles

emus, I don't think there's much else for me to do unless I'm really forgetting something

Other than that, I think the Newsletter is only missing your review and then it would be ready for publishing

Once again .. that would be in case I'm not missing something very obvious ..

> Other than that, I think the Newsletter is only missing your review and then it would be ready for publishing I wont manage beside my quick check recently ↺

Perfect then!

cal0pteryx, and I will handle it!

Don't worry about it 👍

There is a small thing that’s been bothering me for a long time: marketing-wise, having every newsletter entry being one month “late” (releasing in June the newsletter of May) feels pretty bad.

I think it would improve greatly to say this is the June newsletter, even if all changes are from May.

But the newsletter covers everything that happened in may 🤔

That way people living in June will feel like they have up to date information, instead of ditching it since May is already in the past.

I do get your point, of course

gnemmi, articles are usually dated on the date they got published, not the date their contents got written at.

Agreed

Personally, I don't have any objections. It's not a bad idea and we still have time to fix that. But that's not up to me to decide.

emus, cal0pteryx: 👆

gnemmi: we can just call it XMPP Newsletter and put a date range small below.

Maybe .. or we could move from month to issue number .. like in XMPP Newsletter #92 ..

Idk .. I'm just thinking this as we speak

The Unicode Consortium allows adopting emoji, could the XSF adopt an emoji through crowdfunding that? I believe it starts at 5000 USD.

What emoji?

the light bulb?
