Summits, Conferences and Meetups workgroup - 2024-03-29

gnemmi, hey

Hello MattJ !

Thank you for the invite!

Ok .. so .. the reason why I wanted to get in touch with you guys.

My name is Gonzalo and I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Every year, on the 4th Sunday of April (27/04) we have a FOSS event that covers all of Latin America

Its called "Flisol" ( Latin American Festival of Software Libre Installation )

The event lasts for the whole day and it's main objective is to let people come over with their computers and get FOSS installed for free on their hardware by a team of people dedicated to that purpose.

At the same time, we have talks, workshops, conferences, meetups and the like.

To make it short: it's the biggest a FOSS install fest and get together day in Latin America.

And so, this year, I've been called and asked if I wanted to give a Talk .. and I said "Yes, of course!". And then got asked what my talk would be about .. and I said "XMPP". 😊️

As of now I'm working on the talk and a the presentation slides to go along with it.

Hola gnemmi puedo ayudar 🙂

Would this be the right MUC to ask for help and advice on this matter?

Hola Eduardo !!! 🤗️🤗️🤗️

I've already been digging on https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/SCAM/Material and found a few things I can use, although some of it seems to be a bit dated but still useful

( BTW: this link is broken https://bitbucket.org/SamWhited/xmpp-intro-slides/downloads/ )

Also, just in case you want to take a look at the website of the event, here's the Latin American one: https://flisol.info/

And this is the one for Argentina in particular: https://flisol.info/FLISOL2024/Argentina

gnemmi: If you want you can write an english and spanish blog post and we prepare a toot

that would be really nice!. So far I've been working on the summary ( which I had to send to the Flisol as a proposal ) and now I'm working on shaping up the main concepts and ideas that I want the audience to understand .. while working on the slides as a visual aid ..

The more I work on it the more I tend to move the concepts of "open protocol, extensible, descentralization and data protection" as the core of the talk.

Let me see if I can do a quick translation of the summary I sent

Hmm, it would be good to have a 'talks' section on xmpp.org

With links to recordings of FOSDEM XMPP talks, etc.

But this is back to commteam stuff :)

hackish as all hell translation: https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~gnemmi/xmpp_presentation_ideas_summary

It should be noted that this particular talk will be targeted at begginers and people that has no idea what XMPP is

s/begginers/beginners/

Oh .. and certainly .. do you by any chance have any XMPP developer, representative or referral I can get in touch with in Argentina?

And, of course, if you think that my summary sucks, or would like me to mention ( or not to mention ) something in particular ( or in general ), *please* let me know

I still have plenty of time and since I got the call ( 2 days ago ) I've been brainstorming with myself .. 🫠️

gnemmi: the owner and many members of this MUC live in Argentina: xmpp:lostincyberspace@conference.cyberdelia.com.ar?join

> Hmm, it would be good to have a 'talks' section on xmpp.org We can create a event based subpage and put it under announcment I would say ↺

moparisthebest, Oh, yes. I know some of them from other events and meetups. Thank you a lot for reminding me that!.

> With links to recordings of FOSDEM XMPP talks, etc. Ok, will.consider ↺

But I was referring to someone with an actual compromise ( rol, maybe? ), or affiliatioin with XMPP

gnemmi: maybe ask in relevant chats

emus, will do! 😊️
