MattJ, congrats to your excellent talk

As anecdotial side story: our oldest asked me if the person talking was my boss while I watched it at the breakfast table :)

:D

Thanks for the talk!

where, i want to see MattJ talk !

i'm wondering if they still believe that bridges are good

or if this is just a giant marketing thing

I am not sure if bridges are inherently a bad thing. I still remember me using PSI and being connected to all my friends on Yahoo, ICQ, and Co, which was very nice

of course, back then e2ee wasn't a thing

OTR worked just fine over all those...

is the Talk online somewhere?

It will be published on https://video.fosdem.org/ at some point, not sure when

MattJ, it was precorded anyway right? can you not just publish it yourself?

That's true, if I can find somewhere suitable to host it

XEP-0363?

:D

Thanks!

The LE link is broken

Im still looking for volunteers to post the recent tweets on Twitter ✏

well that was a strange session with pocock

it felt like the recorded video was terminated early, and wasn't there supposed to be a Q&A session?

Yeah, I didn't see any questions asked, so I think they just chatted

MattJ, do you think we say the whole video? because that was pretty short, wasn't it? only about 5-10 minutes

I've no idea. The video was a bit hard to follow, so hard to say

Ahh, and I assumed it was only for me as non-native speaker hard to follow

> mdosch : Kev, prince of Nigeria… This joke was in very bad taste. If nobody else can see that, then I am very disappointed that we, of African heritage still have to face ethnic or national stereotyping while everyone else gives a wink or pretends it was a harmless joke

It was related to those 'I'm the prince of nigeria' email spam. I'm sorry if you think I meant something different.

I don't know why they are hard cutting between questions and the next talk. We don't have to get out of a room at a certain time so why cut off q&a? If they want a scheduled time so tracks sync up they could have just alloted more time per talk.

Or do they have like break off rooms where q&a is happening and the main stream is just cutting to keep to the schedule?

Does that part work now? Sounded like it gave out this morning.

They are supposed to have break-out rooms for each talk, but it wasn't working this morning... in fact I *just* got a message to say the bot was opening up the room for questions, 5 hours after the talk :)

hey, it tried

🤖

Eventual consistency will always win in the end ;)

Oh they do have q&a rooms? It's not just 15 seconds to not even answer one question before cutting to the next talk?

jjrh, correct

Ah okay I'll have to figure that out

e.g. mine was #rtc-products_vs_protocols:fosdem.org

But they are closed until after the live Q&A ends

Nice :)

very nice!

emus: great work on newsletter once again

moparisthebest: Thanks!

No pandemic will stop tradition

Hah.

I had tomato soup yesterday, consider it an retroactive act of solidarity.

Ice cream is technically soup
