XMPP Summit - 2026-02-01

> goffi: do you got my 4 slot USB charger? it's stayed there. It still under the table

> That sounds fact-shaped. Right now, the only constraint is getting it on screen. Are you thinking something sentence-shaped? https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp_providers/115691576963799709 No, I dont know what are good proven statements... anyone else on this? ↺

I'll leave "soonish", but I feel like in a 90yo body, every single move is so difficult to do. Most optimistic ETA: 10:30

Same

The fire alarm certainly did not contribute to my much needed recovery

I'm leaving the hotel in five minutes

> The fire alarm certainly did not contribute to my much needed recovery ?!

Idk maybe you slept through it. Maybe it was only on my floor (is a per floor fire alarm a thing?) maybe I hallucinated it. But the 3am wake up and getting dressed wasn't fun

😵‍💫

I the past there were sandwichs offered at Fosdem. Does it still exist?

It was sweet seeing you all! I am in the train on my way long way back to Nice, enjoy Sunday FOSDEM and pizza!

Oddly enough, at our hotel (edhelas and me) we also has some sort of fire alarm wake us up in the middle of the night.

This just awesome!

*XMPP listed as Alternative Chat at DI.DAY Initiative* The German initiative ‘Digital Independence Day’ (DI.DAY) has been kicked off this year to enable users to migrate to open-source software alternatives in various contexts. Besides other services, XMPP is listed as an alternative chat option and XMPP Community members have created so-called switch recipes: Digital Independence Day. https://xmpp.org/2026/02/xmpp-listed-as-alternative-chat-at-di.day-initiative/ https://mov.im/community/news.xmpp.org/News/1742b25f-dd56-4660-8654-82b8e87f0ed9 https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp/115995087036901844 https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:hhyjgh7zxk33uavujv6hypm3/post/3mds7ep2grn22

Nah, looks like there's already a project like that. Maybe do like the Dino fork, DinoX

https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element-x/

Sh**

> xmpp:lobby@conference.fosdem.ik.nu?join what is that room? should I join and say random stuff for the booth or is it meant for something else? ↺

XD

I joined.

Is MAM enabled for the room?

I did not get any context/history on join, if that's meant for random people passing by to try from any client and join, maybe it's worth activating it? Maybe it's just the bad connectivity I have in the train though ;)

Phew... Almost missed my train. One minute more and the door would have been closed.... 😵‍💫🥵

Phew, congrats!

Yup 🥲

This is mine, I’m coming!

Where did you put it?

It's in my bag, I won't leave without handing it to you, but you keep disappearing 😅

https://maps.app.goo.gl/CeFdLxT9U7YSmoHTA

There are several groups?

> This is mine, I’m coming! Why are we not wondering? 😉 ↺

Cool, I had a train conversation with someone that last info about "Jabber" used to be Pidgin. It ended with a XMPP sticker on his laptop 😌

> https://maps.app.goo.gl/CeFdLxT9U7YSmoHTA Sorry it's not clear. Are you all there already?

goffi: we agreed to be there between 7 and 7:30

What Guus said

Ah ok. Cool it's very close to me.

Edhelas, me, and two others are very close ;)

> https://igniterealtime.org/httpfileupload/HRP0UHOLRets3TcMvkqG3hG-6q4/eV66bjutT5Gq8r2QxqmpmA.jpg Can you help me what it exactly shows? ↺

Or what it demonstrates

So the promised closure of E40 is, in fact, a thing

So, FOSDEM doesn't need any more help with cleaning, so I would be able to join you after all. Will the restaurant fit one more?

I'm guessing that the difference between 12 and 14 isn't that big.

Its at your own risk 😁

Great, I'm on my way

emus, it’s showing poezio running on a device, but I don’t know which one

> So the promised closure of E40 is, in fact, a thing ? ↺

looks like a minnowboard turbot board (from 2015?) but I wasn’t there, so I don’t know what the goal was :p

I'm fairly sure the board is running an xmpp server and the muc is on that server. But I think ralphm set that up so better ask him to confirm

> goffi: we agreed to be there between 7 and 7:30 I'll join a bit later

Hum actually it's not as close as I thought. It's better that I stay and rest.

Enjoy the meal.

On my way, ETA 20:05

mathieui: yes, what Daniel said. It took some time to get a more recent version of Ubuntu on the SD card, but it was running Prosody from the PPA, and I could do it because we were at a university and everybody gets both an IP 4 and IPv6 address.

Two great posts https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp/115997177251465275 https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp/115997249952615294
