dwdralphm, Sorry, yes, but managed to miss that one somehow.
ralphmheh
ralphmwe should probably start making a list of all proposed presentations and demos
dwdralphm, Yes, we've suddenly got rather a lot more demos than we did.
dwdOh, and I meant to reply to Peter Waher - I'm a little worried about a presentation about the company, rather than the tech, at FOSDEM.
dwdCan somebody check the following doesn't sound too aggresive or anything?

Before I begin, I may have completely misunderstood, and if your output is all open-source then most of this won't apply to you.
My only concern with demos is that we are at FOSDEM, and as such the demos need to concentrate on the technical use of XMPP rather than the companies using it, and really involve open-source as much as possible.
I'm pretty sure that the FOSDEM organizers understand that XMPP is not exclusively open-source, but we need to ensure that the balance is very much skewed that way, and we need to ensure that we're being very technically focussed.
I do sympathize - I'd really love to discuss all the funky stuff that Isode is doing in the XMPP space - at least, the things I can talk about - but the nature of FOSDEM is hugely limiting for projects and companies that are not (very) open-source - this is no fault of FOSDEM, it's simply that FOSDEM is for Free/Open-Source software, and we need to respect that and keep aligned with it as much as is feasable.
So I (in my Isode guise), like you, will be looking to figure out a demo which downplays the closed-source bits, and concentrates on the open-standards and/or open-source parts of what we do. (My talk has nothing at all to do with Isode, in fact).
Given that the Interop day (on Friday) seems to be going slow, we could have some less constrained talks about what attendees are doing, if there's interest (in listening as well as talking, of course).
Dave.

ralphmstpeter: thanks for working on those lists
ralphmstpeter: it would be great to have an overview of what we have for the lounge
ralphmstpeter: We should also figure out how to get needed hardware for the loungy concept itself
ralphmDo you think we should maybe paste my e-mail into the wiki page?
stpeterralphm: sure thing
stpeterI will try to get some projectors and screens from the Cisco offices in Diegem
stpeterwe had some discussion about this stuff during the Board meeting on Wednesday, and we plan to hold another meeting next Wednesday, see http://xmpp.org/calendar/ for the .ics file :)
stpeterI need to log off here for a bit, but I'll be back later
ralphmOh, I missed that
ralphmI'd like to send an update to the fosdem team
ralphmso they have a more solid idea
stpeterindeed
stpeterFlorian is following up with some incubator project in Brussels about comfy chairs
stpeteretc.
stpeterbut pasting your email into the wiki is a good start
ralphmAh. I'm finding notes
stpetercool
stpeterbrb
ralphmAlso I just joined the pubsubhubbub w3c group. Evan Prodromou and Julien Genestoux want to organize a meeting of some sort in Brussels. Maybe that's interesting.
KevIt is if they drop that silly HTTP stuff and use XMPP :)
ralphmKev: hah
ralphmKev: become a member, too
ZashKev +1
ralphmKev: seriously though, I believe both have a place. For one thing, hybrid solutions are surely a way forward.
KevNope, XMPP is the One True Protocol.
KevEmail over XMPP.
KevHTML over XMPP.
KevDNS over XMPP.
ralphmif you strip out half of the current pubsubhubbub concept and replace the 'publish' part with XMPP, that's a big win.
ZashIP over XMPP
KevAnd there's absolutely no chance I'm being flippant.
