XSF Discussion - 2021-08-31

Hey, this may be of interest, it's a explanation on why GNU and FSF keep using IRC (XMPP and Matrix are mentioned): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2021-06/msg00005.html

whew what a relief we can finally implement XMPP after all these years, only took 21 years to become stable...

yay!

live

I assume the marketing department is preparing a spectacular press release! "Tons of extensions are STABLE now!"

HN: Forget your one experience with XMPP using Pidgin with Google Talk in 2004, it's all Stable now

assuming xmpp is at all relevant enough for HN

Could anyone explain to me why it's so great that MUC has become a Stable Standard?

Hopefully we won't have people thinking "oh it's a draft, I suppose nobody implements that then"

me9: MUC was just an example, the XEP state that was called 'DRAFT' is now renamed to 'STABLE'.

... for the reason explained by Zash.

(If that wasn't clear.)

Ah! Thanks Holger.

Suppose a disembodied screenshot wouldn't be without already knowing what it was about

So the lifecycle state Draft doesn't exist anymore? It moved to Stable? ✏

Draft still exists(?) but if observed it shows up as Stable

Okay.

So, in some sense, the act of observation makes it stable

Yay xsl

Congratulations, everyone. This is a huge leap for mankind

> So, in some sense, the act of observation makes it stable Quantum theory...something...

Dear board, is there a plan that XSF can make it the next time for GSoC? I would like to raise this topic early. https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/08/google-summer-of-code-2021-results-announced.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+GoogleOpenSourceBlog+(Google+Open+Source+Blog)&m=1 ralphm MattJ dwd arc
