dwdIf you look very closely this is partly about XMPP: https://www.ncia.nato.int/NewsRoom/Pages/20191106-Connecting-the-Dots-The-High-North.aspx
jonas’of course not mentioning it with a single letter
dwdOf course not. But it says "chat", which is NATO-ese for XMPP.
jonas’:D
jonas’over STANAG? :)
dwdI can't tell. It mentions "wideband high-frequency", which would be STANAG 5066, though NATO are here talking about a common IP bearer, which means no XEP-0365.
pep.XEP-0001 §1 "The XSF's standards process can be outlined informally as follows: [..] 2. [..] and agrees to transfer ownership over the protocol [..]", is "over" a typo here?
pep.Should be "of"?
dwdjonas’, Also "Over STANAG" is like saying "Over RFC". :-)
dwdpep., No, "over" is fine. You can have "ownership over X".
pep.ah ok
pep.Maybe we should mandate Simple English in our specs :)
Ge0rG> released a business opportunity for bidding
that wording is very freaky
GuusIf you look very closely, you can find an XMPP reference on a whiteboard somewhere on these pictures: https://www.act.nato.int/cwix
jonas’dwd, sorry, I’m from a part of the amateur radio community, where STANAG generally refers to some HF thing the NATO uses for communications over radio, which I assume is STANAG 5066. TIL, thanks.
jonas’dwd, sorry, I’m from a part of the amateur radio community where STANAG generally refers to some HF thing the NATO uses for communications over radio, which I assume is STANAG 5066. TIL, thanks.
dwdGe0rG, Well, yes, NATO is terrifyingly bureaucratic. If you've done any government bidding, just imagine bidding for 28 governments simulataneously and you're about right.
dwdjonas’, Ah, I vaguely knew there was some use of S'5066 in ham, but didn't realise it was quite that well known.
Ge0rGdwd: yeah, that comes on top. But "to release a business opportunity" is just weird turbo capitalism speak
dwdGe0rG, Oh, yes. It's a little bubble.

GuusWould it hurt to have some content served on the URLs that match the namespaces that are defined in our registrar, where applicable? I think I've just received a request to remove namespaces from Openfire, since the links are broken anyway. I'd prefer to not have the discussion that I'm going to have more often, in the future.
Danielhas left
Taohas left
Danielhas joined
GuusI'm wondering if any content that's being served without a HTTP error that's not a schema will break / confuse tooling.
stpeterhas joined
Taohas joined
mathijshas left
pep.The discussion? That is "Please inform yourself about what a namespace is"?
Ge0rGGuus: that sounds like another request to fix our registry
pep.It's not about the registry from what I understand
pep.It's about people not knowing that a namespace doesn't have to resolve
pep.right(?)
GuusYes.
GuusBasically: can we have non-error content at URLs like https://www.jabber.org/protocol/geoloc
Daniel14 year old me was slightly confused about the urls not resolving as well. But I don't think that making the urls resolve would have helped my understanding
DanielIf anything it would have made it more confusing maybe
GuusNo, but it prevents me having awkward conversations with customers.
KevI suspect that them not resolving actually helps rather than hinders, in this case.
KevBecause it forces understanding, rather than ploughing ahead on a basis of being ignorant about one's ignorance :)
Guusmaybe a redirect to https://xmpp.org/registrar/namespaces.html ?
mukt2has left
Daniel> Because it forces understanding, rather than ploughing ahead on a basis of being ignorant about one's ignorance :)
👍
KevGuus: A redirect to namespaces might not be daft, though, yeah.
flowGuus, I'd love to see namespaces of XEPs being URLs that point to the related version of the xep
Kevflow: I see the appeal in that. I'm worried it would add confusion (see ignorant ignorance comment) from those not 'in the know'. But I'm certainly not high-F against the idea.
sonnyhas joined
MattJI'm pretty sure they used to redirect (a very long time ago)
GuusI'm not disagreeing with you all here - and there's something to be said for it, but I really don't want to fight this battle with everyone 🙂
Taohas left
GuusI'm looking for a path of least resistance here 🙂
!XSF_Martinhas joined
Guusread: "Guus is chickening out"
Guus"everyone" being the one customer that comes up with this in the past 5 years or so
Guus(but for everyone that asks a question, 10 others wonder, but don't bother to ask)
flowKev, I do not follow the "ignorant ignorance" comment. Could you rephrase it for me? I don't see how namespace values pointing to the document declaring and defining that protocol used by those values can be anything but a big win
Kevflow: If the URL doesn't point anywhere, people are forced to understand that the URL doesn't mean what people think it does. OTOH if we put URLs there for the http-based namespaces, are we going to have people thinking that they can shove the URL to random web pages in there? What about urn:xmpp stuff?
KevI don't feel strongly about it, but I suspect anything we do will lead to confusion by someone.
pep.Guus, also note that this happens only for namespaces that happen to be http.
Guuspep. I am painfully, painfully aware...
pep.And hmm, the XSF has an http -> https redirection in place right
flowKev, I see, thanks
dwdpep., See XEP-0419 §3.1 : https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0419.html#sect-idm46603442987040
pep.contxt?
pep.context?
HolgerWon't the uninformed think "oh the URL has died? (no wonder, Jabber is dying)" rather than "oh it points nowhere, must be just a namespace"?
pep.ah, 419.
GuusContext is: Ge0rG and dwd having fun.
KevHolger: Also possible.
pep.dwd, yeah not what I'm saying.
pep.Just saying confused customer gonna be confused
GuusStill, serving a redirect to the registrar wouldn't be the worst idea?
pep.The XSF doesn't have control over jabber.org though
Guusit'd also have the benefit of what Flow proposes, although indirectly: a reference to the corresponding XEPs.
Guus(without the downside that the URLs are added to documentation as Kev suggested, as they'd point to a generic landing page)
Guuspep. I'm pretty sure we can approach the friendly sysops for jabber.org to make this change, if we want it.
KevI think Guus's suggestion is sound. The XSF doesn't have control over jabber.org, but this seems like something Peter isn't going to say 'no' to.
pep.Guus, You mean just like we approached them to update their servers a while ago? :p
KevI suspect, anyway. I've been somewhat sidelined from recent jabber.org decisions.
Guuspep. that's not helpful.
pep.It is what it is
Guusno-one here is very much opposed to this then?
goffihas joined
KevI'm not.
pep.I won't oppose that for sure. Not really in favor either
Guusgood enough for me 🙂
GuusI'll poke some of the volunteers at jabber.org.

What could be the reason for using it in tactical chat?
sezuanhas left
jjrhThat's pretty nifty, I knew there was a chat product targeted at the military, but didn't realize it was a NATO thing.
KevFederation, open standards, good story for security labeling/rbac, constrained bandwidth.
lovetoxmukt2, they probably didnt select XMPP
lovetoxthey have a contractor who offers a piece of software that does what NATO specified
lovetoxand this contractor uses XMPP
Kevlovetox: That is not the case :)
jjrhIs there a source/reference to this claim? (not disputing it, only curious to know more)
lovetoxno? NATO has an IT dep that writes all the software themself? doubt it
jonas’lovetox, there’s a wide range of options between that
jonas’they could for example have made a survey of open chat standards and made a bidding for a contractor which can deliver that
lovetoxnot really, either you write it yourself, or you write user requirements and let it write someone else
jonas’XMPP could’ve been part of the requirements
lovetoxyeah, fair could be
Kevjonas’: (And is)
lovetoxthen the answer is obvious, probably because it is open and a standard
lovetoxand is there really an alternative?
dwdThe last NATO bid I was part of was explicitly requiring XMPP, since that was an existing deployed and federated standard.
!XSF_Martinhas joined
KevBut as I mentioned above, XMPP has more going for it for that community than *just* being an open standard. It's an open standard that has desirable properties.
dwdThat was a looong time ago, but nothing's changed since.
dwdjjrh, FWIW, it's awkward because it's very difficult to know what *can* be discussed openly (some of it certainly is classified) and what people *want* to be discussed openly, which is somewhat different. Often organisations like NATO default to assuming everything is not to be discussed.
dwdjjrh, But if you search for "NATO XMPP" on a popular search engine of your choice, you'll very likely find things, and the Google search suggestions might even give you pointers...
jonas’> isode.com
jonas’I’m not surprised ;)
KevThat is a place you might end up.
jonas’that’s the first two hits, then it’s xmpp.org
mukt2has left
dwdHonestly, the Google search suggestions is the bigger hint.
jonas’github doesn’t show me the PR this belonged t
jonas’github doesn’t show me the PR this belonged to
pep.I'm not especially proud of NATO using XMPP fwiw, but I'll leave it at that
Kevjonas’: "W. Martin Borgert" it says doesn't it?
jonas’that doesn’t tell me which PR number this was
MattJIt usually does :/
jjrhproud isn't the right word, but it's a useful selling point to give people when they ask who's using XMPP.
jonas’jjrh, depending who you’re talking to, really
Kevjonas’: Sorry, misunderstood the point you were making.
jonas’Kev, I recall that there was a brief discussion in the PR, and I wanted to link it
jonas’but I can’t find it
jonas’sometimes I hate github
Guus"military grade" typically implies "of good quality".
jjrhjonas’, of course, /some/ people. but regardless of how you feel about NATO/military it does imply a certain amount of robustness and flexibility
jonas’jjrh, people are ready to ignore the implications in face of that
jonas’Guus, to be honest, nowadays, military grade mainly implies marketing to me when it’s about IM
jjrhjonas’, those people probably already got sold when you told them it's a IETF standard :)
jonas’"military grad encryption!!!k"
Daniel> proud isn't the right word, but it's a useful selling point to give people when they ask who's using XMPP.
It's not just nato. It's also other government agencies. Lots of people 'who have something to hide'. But those people are never very chatty about that
