XSF Discussion - 2019-01-21


  1. Ge0rG

    So because this was derailed for multiple times already.... Apparently I can't send mails to board@, and there is no way to change it to bounce instead of silently consuming my mail. What is the *official* way to send mails to Board?

  2. jonas’

    Ge0rG, shall I put the question on the board trello?

  3. jonas’

    (when I get home)

  4. Ge0rG

    jonas’: my naive hope is that one of the Board members or iteam happens to know that _before_ the next Board meeting.

  5. ralphm

    Ge0rG: I will forward your e-mail to Board

  6. ralphm

    The official way used to be sending e-mail to info@xmpp.org, but since we don't have an ED, there are some things that need fixed. This is one of them.

  7. Ge0rG

    ralphm: alright, thanks very much. I've seen the info@ address mentioned on one of our pages, but thought it's going to Peter directly, which might not be the appropriate venue right now.

  8. ralphm

    It is currently, so I'll have that changed.

  9. ralphm

    I'll ask iteam to send it to me, too.

  10. ralphm

    and probably Alex

  11. Ge0rG

    ralphm: thanks for taking this up

  12. Ge0rG

    > Applications will be accepted until end of business February 24th, 2019 Alex: was that supposed to mean "January", or are we having exceptionally long "two weeks" this Quartal?

  13. Alex

    Ge0rG: voting period is ~2 weeks, application period is longer. We don't have a fixed schedule for those quarterly application periods and member meetings. I am trying to align them better, but its sometimes hard for me because I have to travel to much

  14. Ge0rG

    Alex: sorry, I didn't want to sound offensive, I just wondered about the time period.

  15. Ge0rG

    Maybe there is a better wording for https://xmpp.org/community/membership.html then as well?

  16. Alex

    Ge0rG: no worries, I was late this time with announcing it. Tried to stay away from a computer over the xmas holidays, then it moved ;-)

  17. Ge0rG

    Alex: the computer or the holidays? 😉

  18. Ge0rG

    There are still people out there celebrating Julian Christmas.

  19. ralphm

    Dear all. Guus has just sent two e-mails regarding the XMPP Summit. TLDR: 1) register (and remember!) your food choices for the XSF Dinner, 2) Sign up on the wiki if you are attending (needed for building access and wifi).

  20. ralphm

    If you haven't gotten them: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/summit

  21. Syndace

    ralphm: Is there an archive? I only just subscribed to the list, sorry.

  22. ralphm

    See the second sentence

  23. Ge0rG

    Syndace: https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/summit/

  24. intosi

    I think you'll find if you follow that link.

  25. Ge0rG

    Changing the topic for a moment, are there best practices for use of the @xml:lang attribute in XMPP clients?

  26. Syndace

    Thanks Ge0rG, I did not find it via the link (on mobile though)

  27. Ge0rG

    Syndace: https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/summit/2019-January/001918.html and https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/summit/2019-January/001917.html

  28. Link Mauve

    Ge0rG, goffi has been working on proper support in his client, I don’t think he wrote anything but a blog post though.

  29. ralphm

    Syndace: that's surprising. It is the second sentence of the page I linked, to which you then responded. The page should be the same irregardless of the device you're browsing from. Do you have a screenshot?

  30. Syndace

    It lead me to the registration form which I then used. Maybe it also contained a link to the archive but by registering I left the page.

  31. Syndace

    I'll check

  32. Syndace

    It does indeed, sorry again

  33. ralphm

    no worries, just making sure it works properly

  34. ralphm

    Syndace: also, I think your registration confirmation should have a link to the archive.

  35. Link Mauve

    goffi, fyi, on https://www.goffi.org/ when I click on older articles at the bottom (which is quite hidden by the background btw) it puts me back to the same page.

  36. Syndace

    The "welcome to the summit list" one does not contain a (direct) link to the archives but it contains a link that in turn links to the archive ^^ I guess I expected some hint where to find archives on the page you get to when you finish the registration.

  37. pep.

    btw, not so long ago there were talks of organizing another XMPP event(?) some kind of conference? Guus? Does that need any board seal of approval first?

  38. Ge0rG

    pep.: IIRC it was a talk about making the Summit more conference'y, to improve the boss factor and get it paid. But also a dedicated track or conference for XMPP, but without a clear mission statement

  39. Kev

    That wasn't what I'd understood, FWIW.

  40. pep.

    Ge0rG, boss factor? :P

  41. Guus

    I've discussed both, with different people. 🙂

  42. pep.

    I'd be interested to help organising. I have no idea what's been discussed though, it'd be nice to clear this first

  43. Guus

    And yes, I once uttered that desire to have more than one bigger event - but that, as of yet, did not progress beyond the "I think it's a nice idea" phase.

  44. Ge0rG

    pep.: the boss factor is what gets your boss to pay for your summit participation

  45. Guus

    pep. let's discuss this (later) in the SCAM muc, ok?

  46. pep.

    Guus, sure

  47. Guus

    today, I'm kind of swamped.

  48. pep.

    scam@muc.xmpp.org ?

  49. Guus

    yes
