XMPP Summit - 2026-01-31

> dwd, you mentioned that you will have some transportation from the NH to the ULB in the morning? Is there still a free spot by any chance? If not, I will come on my own, it's no problem Change of plans, I will definitely be arriving on my own. I should be there around eight ✏ ↺

I am on my way too, see you there!

Morning. Not well this morning, will be late, sorry. I'll get there when I can.

I should be ready to leave in about 15m

Get well soon Dave!

Dan Caseley has my portable screen and a USB cable that'll drive it.

Heading to the lobby, if anyone's around

I am at ULB, a bit lost

> Heading to the lobby, if anyone's around Is that the main infodesk, K building? ↺

But open now

Im getting ready and will be on my way 👋

Me too, I'll move soon. Couldn't do it before. ✏

On my way

We have a FOSDEM room for visitors btw, I’ve invited some of you but you may want to join it too: xmpp:fosdem@conference.monocles.de?join

The booth is really great this year. The location is actually better than in K.

Just been over to K. They put KDE and Gnome into our dark corner

Sorry, I got caught talking - I'm about to grab some lunch and I'll come back to the stand

neox: Hi! I'm on the XMPP stand at Fosdem, by any chance, would you be around?

I cannot see neox atm

Likely later

yga: neox went out with hardware people I think, but he'll probably check his phone once in a while

Thanks for the info!

I'm coming back soon

We don't have any hoodies to sell this year right?

We accept donations for hoodies and zipped cardigans

Right at the booth

Oh cool.

I almost bought one, but I am now grown up enough to know that I don’t need a fourth one (and a 20th hoodie in general)

@mathieui You know that’s a lie, right :)

mremond, I need to buy a bigger home to store them :p

Yup, can confirm that growing up even more can remove this limitation

> mremond, I need to buy a bigger home to store them :p sounds like a good plan 😛 ↺

now I just need to find a 6-figures xmpp job…

For people at FOSDEM. The building closes soon. Come get your stuff if there's anything you need to collect!

Yikes. Can someone save my laptop please?

I've got my bag. Left my laptop connected to the projector. Am in a talk until 7

That's the one!

Thanks!

Hey people, did you leave my bag and jacket in the Lounge?

It is closed now. :s

There were two coats when we left.

I’ll have to dance a lot tonight at the bytenight then, to keep warm!

good thing it’s not -15°C this year, and there’s even some sun during the day

Link Mauve: edhelas mentioned your jacket and tried to contact you. Check with him if he took it. But I don't think so.

goffi: do you got my 4 slot USB charger?

emus: if it was one of the ones plugged in under the table, I believe it's still there

Thanks!

The stuff I had running on the projector today has been tidied up, and put on GitHub (https://github.com/Fishbowler/xmpp-did-you-know) and can be seen on GitHub Pages here: https://fishbowler.github.io/xmpp-did-you-know/ Changes welcome, naturally.

Fishbowler: is there place for some performance statements?

That sounds fact-shaped. Right now, the only constraint is getting it on screen. Are you thinking something sentence-shaped?
