ZashIt's awkward as long as MUC is the way it is, as you see 0 or more messages depending on how many clients are online and joined
Ge0rGI think the consensus is to exclude type=groupchat from personal MAM, but then you end up with MUC-PM duplicates

larmamaybe instead of decentralized online summit, we do federated online summit? People gather in smaller groups and those join a conference call
KevIf we could do an online sprint there might be merit too.

ralphm2. MIssion statement
ralphmThis is in items for discussion. Was this already discussed?
Guusno
Guusnot in a board meeting, at least.
sonnyhas joined
ralphmOk. I did some digging on this not too long ago. If the problem is "did board officially adopt this mission statement?", then I believe the answer to be yes.
ralphmI don't have the references handy right now, but that's what I gathered from the various mail threads around the time it was written.
sonnyhas left
adiaholichas left
ralphmI also do not think the mission conflicts with a neutrality stance.
adiaholichas joined
pep.I disagree with this statement and I guess you're all already aware
ralphmFrom a quick reread, I think we agreed to disagree, where the majority seems to not think this is a problem.
ralphmAnything we need to discuss further?
pep.Also related: https://www.mnot.net/blog/2020/08/28/for_the_users, that I linked last week
Guuslinked where?
pep.here
GuusI missed it.
adiaholichas left
GuusI'm still at the same place where I was a couple of months ago: to me, this all feels like a semantics discussion where I've yet to see tangible results.
pep.TL;DR: “So at its heart, The Internet is for End Users is a call for IETF participants to stop pretending that they can ignore the non-technical consequences of their decisions”
pep.Guus, I'm not entirely sure what you call tangible
adiaholichas joined
pep.I think that's actually the main goal of board, to discuss of what you all call meta-stuff
ralphmI haven't read that fully yet, but I'm not sure how the XSF is pretending that they can ignore non-technical consequences of their decisions, if that's the implication.
lorddavidiiihas left
pep.lol
pep.Sorry
adiaholichas left
ralphm?
adiaholichas joined

pep.Even the mission statement is not clear on who are priorities are. It states « freedom, openness », but these words mean nothing without any context and they can be used for anything
archas left
neshtaxmpphas left
archas joined
MattJSo we need to include in the mission statement definitions of all the terms?
adiaholichas left
adiaholichas joined
pep.Maybe be slightly more specific? For exemple even just mentioning (end-)users
MattJAs far as I'm concerned our protocols are open (they are developed and published publicly) and free (anyone can use them)
pep.(And of course applying it afterwards, not just for show)
pep.MattJ, good. Now who are these protocols designed for, what purpose. Does the XSF accept anything that comes by? If so why? Or why not?
ralphmThe mission statement doesn't live a vacuum. It lives on our website, so it other documents go into details, like https://xmpp.org/about/technology-overview.html. Additionally there are well-established meanings behind these words. I am not sure we need ironclad definitions.
MattJI don't think that level of detail belongs in a mission statement. Maybe in some other document...
adiaholichas left
pep.Whatever the answer to these questions these are choices that the XSF (board / members) has to make, and choice means taking sides
adiaholichas joined
pep.So no we are not neutral, even if we haven't answered these questions they are answered implicitely
archas left
archas joined
neshtaxmpphas joined
pep.Anyway I encourage you to read that blog article, and the RFC that goes with it
ralphmYes, it might be that we decide to non accept a submission. Usually this is on technical grounds. Sometimes on license issues. I don't think the XSF is 100% neutral. We encourage, and require at a stage, open source implementations. But we do not, as an organisation, favour particular contributors or specific implementations.
Mikaelahas left

pep.https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/mission.html

pep.It's not linked from anywhere :/
adiaholichas left
ralphmWe can fill hours of discussions on the difference between Open Source and Free Software.
Ge0rGI'd also like to contribute a small AOB topic to the meeting: the IETF's use of Jabber.
GuusTo me, this feels like an never-ending rabbit hole of trying to preemptively define everything - I wonder what the benefit will be of us putting in the time and effort to do so.
adiaholichas joined
ralphmThis
pep.ralphm, the actual difference is not the point. The mere fact that there are differences is a clue that choices have been made and this is not neutral
Mikaelahas joined
MattJThe "neutral" thing is being thrown about a lot, did we actually formalize any statement on what this means?
ralphmBut what is the *problem* with that then? We are not 100% neutral, and I also don't think we claim to be.
pep.MattJ, I haven't seen any :/
ralphmSo where does this perceived incongruence come from?
MattJThe primary neutrality that I am concerned with is one of implementation neutrality, along the lines of the question that was included in the members survey a few years ago
pep.ralphm, don't we? Maybe not publicly but everybody present here at least has heard of the so-called neutrality I'd hope
pep.There has even been a poll a few years ago
MattJi.e. the idea that the XSF should not favour/promote certain XMPP projects above others
MattJIt's nothing to do with favouring one or another stance on protocols
lorddavidiiihas joined
pep.Guus, is it not important to define who we're doing what we're doing for?
ralphmTo me, the XSFs so-called neutrality is focussed on the ability for everyone to implement protocols we standardize in our process, and not actively promote certain implementations over others.
pep.(+english)
pep.I mean, not developers, obviously they're gonna be the ones using the technology, but who is that technology for
ralphmAnd we did have a loooong discussion on the Signal protocol used in our XEPs, *because* of the neutrality stance on this point.
pep.I disagree on why we had that discussion, but that's another story
ralphmWell, it was had, and we had an opinion.
ralphmAnd to be clear Dave did raise that discussion to its fullest because of that specific reason.
ralphm(hi dwd)
adiaholichas left
adiaholichas joined
sonnyhas left
pep.I still disagree, and that's a discussion we can have later if you want. That does relate to that so-called neutrality certainly
pep.And who we're making/accepting protocols for
pep.I note that nobody answered "Would we accept a spec that encourages tracking users for example" :)
GuusDid that issue come up in the last ~20 years?
MattJNobody has proposed such a spec, so discussing it is helpful how?
Guusand if it did, don't you think we can handle those on a case-by-case basis?
MattJThere are many thought experiments we could run along similar lines, but I don't see the benefit
adiaholichas left
MattJEven if we made a decision now (before any such spec has been submitted), what's to say our stance couldn't change?
ralphmwe would, as the IETF does. The statement refenced by pep. was accepted by the IAB, not the IETF itself.
MattJWould we preemptively accept such a spec by saying "yes" to your question now?
adiaholichas joined
pep.Guus, I don't, actually. That's a pretty obvious example of what people might be uneasy about, but there are plenty of other exapmles, more subtle
ralphm(case by case, I mean)
pep.ralphm, surely it's "only" the IAB (and yeah that's another excuse I hear often), but it still has quite a lot of weight
ralphmIt all depends on what "tracking users" means in the context of that hypothetical specification.
ralphmpep., and that weight is felt in our community too. I don't see us actively opposing that.
adiaholichas left
pep.I see us talking about things that are opposite to this. What does « neutrality » even mean in the context of this hypothetical spec?
pep."yeah well we're neutral we'll accept your spec, sure"
adiaholichas joined
pep.A more concrete example maybe. I read that two weeks ago board voted to support/sponsor an event on message encryption or something,
pep.Great, I would probably have agreed as well (even though I now think it might have been a SCAM matter? anyway). But why?
pep.Why do we care about message encryption
pep.I have my answers obviously, and they are political
pep.Not neutral.
adiaholichas left
adiaholichas joined
pep.(I don't even know what neutral would mean here tbh)
ralphmI saw a no-objection mention in minutes. It covers messaging, a space the XSF seems to live in. Why is that a neutrality issue?
pep.Ok so, whatever comes in we'll just accept? Is that what that means to you?
pep.What if tomorrow encrypting things becomes illegal in most of the world? (note that it already is in some countries)
pep.Is the XSF explicitely going to support evil people wanting to encrypt messages
ralphmIn the context of the earlier discussion on Signal, MLS has come up several times. It makes sense to me to be involved with topics like that, so that if people want to do encryption of message, there's a common way that also works for XMPP.
ZashSecure Messaging Summit, that's happening today and tomorrow?
ralphmNo only good-doers.
pep.ralphm, but they'd be against the law!!
ralphmThere's no 'the law'.
adiaholichas left
pep.Isn't there. Not that I care much about it either and I'd explicitely support encryption even if it was illegal in most countries.
sonnyhas joined
pep.(Because it is illegal in some countries already, as mentioned above.)
GuusCan we come to some kind of conclusion please?
lorddavidiiihas left
ralphmI don't think this discussion is leading in a particular direction. pep.: if you really want to change something here, you need to make it more concrete.
pep.I say we drop the neutral stance, because it doesn't actually mean anything (or at least I'd expect some document defining what this means to us), and we aren't neutral anyway (according to my definition).
vanitasvitaeOr rather than dropping it, define explicitly in what ways the XSF is neutral and in which not?
pep.Might as well put that in the mission statement or similar document and say how we'll do things and how we won't do things. Instead of clinging to that notion of neutrality
pep.And there maybe we'll realize it's not that easy
vanitasvitaeAs in "the xsf is neutral in regards to implementations, but will protect end-users™"
pep.Fortunately(?) we don't have the same trafic as the IETF
GuusI do not like the optics of removing a 'neutral' stance - even without defining it. "ah, the XSF is no longer neutral" That will not have any positive effects.
ralphmpep. if you want to draft a change like that, we can discuss it more concretely. IMO
ralphmand what Guus says
Guusas to defining things - I'm not seeing the point, but I'm happy to discuss a concrete suggestion.
pep.Who are we trying to please when we're afraid that the XSF is "no longer neutral"
pep.(I bet that's exactly those I don't really care about)
ralphmCutting it short here. Let's pick this up for a next meeting.

pep.Can you rephrase
krauqhas joined
lorddavidiiihas joined
adiaholichas left
MattJI see several examples of different kinds of neutrality that have been discussed in the past year, they are not all the same thing, and we don't have a single "neutrality" stance
adiaholichas joined
ralphm^
pep.MattJ, right, so that's even more confusing
MattJ1) implementation neutrality, which as I said earlier, is the thing that was asked about in the members survey
MattJ2) licensing neutrality, which was heavily discussed to death during the OMEMO debate
MattJ3) political neutrality, in which some non-tech issues were recently discussed at board meetings, and what action the XSF should take, if any
ralphm1) and 2) are explicitly encoded in our Mission and in XEP-0001
MattJA single person can have different views on each of these three "neutralities", and still be a member of the XSF
ralphmFor 3, if we can't get consensus in Board, we tend to ask our membership and/or wider community.
pep.2) isn't about "neutrality", it's about being permissive, not about allowing any kind of license, right
pep.See how that's also confusing
sonnyhas joined
ralphm2) definitely ties into neutrality in that we want *everyone* to be able to implement our protocols. Most of the OMEMO debate was exactly about this point.
MattJneutrality in that sense is that we should not exclude people from implementing the protocols we publish
ralphmby applying a limiting license to the protocol itself (Signal), that invalidated that goal
pep.ralphm, I still disagree wrt. the point of the OMEMO debate. I agree it has touched this subject of neutrality but I disagree that was the main purpose
ralphmOf course others can have other angles, but the discussion was kicked off on this point particularly, by dwd
pep.The purpose of the OMEMO debate to me was about saying "Hey if we allow specs to mandate GPL implementations, I don't have off-the-shelf pieces I can use anymore for my non-GPL product". And tbh, I couldn't care less about this specific point
adiaholichas left
ralphmThat quoted statement is internally inconsistent.
Ge0rGpep.: well, it was about adding a dependency on something that only existed as a GPL implementation
pep.MattJ, so neutrality of implementation still
adiaholichas joined
pep.Ge0rG, sure
ralphmNon-GPL product developers would totally ok with implementing MEMO, if the spec would allow for this.
pep.ralphm, how so?
Ge0rGpep.: if there was a permissively-licensed protocol specification, adding it would be neutral.
ralphmOMEMO, I meant from scratch
pep.ralphm, yes and note that I'm not talking about OMEMO in the quote
pep.Because it doesn't matter
lorddavidiiihas left
ralphmIndeed, we would reject all such protocols
pep.I think you're missing my point. Anyway..
Ge0rGpep.: the important difference is between "there is only a GPL implementation of this" and "there can only ever be a GPL implementation of this"
pep.Or just ignoring it, dunno
Syndace> Or just ignoring it, dunno
cmon...
pep.Syndace, I'm genuinely asking :/
sonnyhas left
ZashMakes more sense to me if you think of it as the protocol and its normative references being incomplete and insufficient to implement the protocol.
ralphmpep. yes, I have a track record on ignoring peoples opinions when they don't match mine, and always shutdown discussions
pep.Ah well, that explains it :P
adiaholichas left
adiaholichas joined
pep.MattJ, so to me the "neutrality" that's been used around for years is really just about allowing anybody to implement our stuff, nothing less nothing more
pep.It doesn't say anything about what we accept or we don't, who our protocols target etc.
pep.(who we're doing all this for)
Ge0rGthat'd be #2 from the above list, then
ralphmYou raise a good point on not being explicit on who we develop protocols for.
MattJThen why are talking about our "neutrality" stance in the context of sponsoring a secure messaging summit? (which is implementation-agnostic)
ralphmI think that is orthogonal to the neutrality thing.
pep.MattJ, because it does seem all mixed up
MattJClearly you think the "neutrality" thing *does* cover more than just implementation neutrality
adiaholichas left
pep.Well I don't remember a clear statement anywhere so..
pep.(and no I don't remember that one private survey from 2-3-4 years ago)
ralphmOk, in that case, let's assume that there isn't anything beyond that, until shown otherwise.

sonnyhas joined
theTeddnot to drag this on, but I interpret pep.'s point as being: it's impossible to be universally impartial, so the XSF should state in which directions it aims to be and what what actions it takes to pursue those aims
pep.Anyway.. I still don't like the word "neutral", because most often it's a lie. Being neutral most often just means supporting the status quo. Be it when it comes to licenses (What's our impact in terms of what kind of implementation (licenses)'s got the most users?), politics (who are our direct users in terms of their number of users?), etc.
j.rhas left
MattJtheTedd, and as far as I'm concerned, we do, on a case-by-case basis
pep.On what basis, what document should I refer to
MattJI wouldn't oppose some general document that summarizes our stance in certain areas
MattJBut I'm not volunteering to write it, because I see other priorities
MattJMaybe this will get me unelected soon, but: I care relatively little about the XSF as an organization
j.rhas joined
MattJI think it serves as a decent steward of the protocol, but I think XMPP is bigger than the XSF
ralphmThe XSF is a means, not a goal.
MattJIn terms of the ecosystem, and the directions XMPP needs to go in
pep.Tbh if I didn't care about the XSF as an org I wouldn't be in board right now. It's not exactly going the way I want it (which is why I'm here), it's a huge time sink. If I only care about XMPP I wouldn't bother with the XSF
