XSF Discussion - 2018-01-15

moparisthebest, ah yes, the double vs. single quote thing always gets me. ✏

the style guide says to use single quotes, but I always use double quotes normally, so I have to adapt there

moparisthebest, regarding the overlap: you can use multiple attributes in a single span, so you’d break the spans up

(and yes, multiple attributes as children, exactly as you say)

block level markup is everything which is not a span

jonasw, in that case there has to go some more thoughts into how overlap works with for example lists and code blocks.

For now I just do very basic checks, but I assume a user could break something if they for example have a list which is overlapping with a quote for example. In that case I wouldn't know how to render that right away.

ah forget that, overlap is not allowed :D

also, sorry, moparisthebest that you got all the highlights, I confused you two

Hi guys, shouldn't the summit be listed on this list? https://fosdem.org/2018/fringe/ I think it would be interesting to have it there.

SouL, no, it came up on list or here already

and the conclusion was that having it in the fringe list would be misleading

people who are interested in discovering XMPP are better off coming to the booth in the weekend

and people who know enough that the summit would be relevant for them, already know about it

Hmmm, ok. Not sure if I'm fine with that but it's ok.

Thanks mathieui :)

SouL: the summit doesn't make any sense to people who haven't developed for xmpp

I absolutely think it should be there; we need more people, pulling them in and showing them what we do seems like a good way to do that. Also, this would attract the people who develop XMPP related things but don't know about or aren't part of the XSF (there are always a lot of XSF talks by names you probably don't see on the mailing list at FOSDEM)

We have a pretty serious marketing problem, doing little things like this seems like a good way to help bring in more people.

Ge0rG, but for example, I discovered that Fringe thing because Godot guys (a free software game engine that I follow or used to follow intensively) are listed there, for the GodotCon

Why not us?

This could lead to some people to go to the XMPP Wikipedia page and read about it

and maybe try to meet some people later on, at FOSDEM

and get interested, etc.

Is like saying that GodotCon should not be there because is not interesting to people that is not developing games, or whatever.

I didn't want to reopen this discussion since, as mathieui mentioned earlier, it seems it has been discussed already, so I apologise for that.

I'm sure there are logs of that discussion, from last board meeting?

I've got no strong opinion in either direction
