XSF Discussion - 2021-10-27

Just a reminder that we are coming closer to the deadline for our board and council application period which is November 7th. When you are interested to rund for a board or council position then please apply here: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Board_and_Council_Elections_2021

Ten days to go and we already have... ZERO candidates!

Does this also mean that current elected dont wanna continue?

emus: no, it means they are postponing it until November 6th

haha

itym just before close of business on the 7th

That.

I've already created a respective page, but I don't dare adding it to the election page.

Ge0rG, go, go , go

Oh sorry, I've got an urgent business appointment _right now_!

In my case I've not decided whether or not to stand. I'm leaning toward not, currently.

I've been considering trying to write XEPs for the next period, as I don't seem to have enough energy for both council and finishing all the half-written XEPs I meant to write.

Zash, There's that, yes.

I have been known to do XEP work on the train from Centraal to Diegem; no sign of that one either. The lack of Summit hasn't helped my motivation, I have to admit.

dwd: you can't possibly fix many XEPs on that trip, can you?

Little time but much energy.

I did more on the Eurostar, in fairness.

Railtrip Summit? Out with walk-and-talk, in with XEP-and-train!

Somebody buy dwd a circular trip ticket

Train from me to Brussels would likely be 2-3 days, if they ever get those euro night trains in order.

Dungeon Train?

Every now and then I do wonder about hosting a mini-summit here, instead.

You can count me in of course

leaving the EU for summit doesn't seem appealing :-X

Plz join the Schengen agreement. Or smuggle us past all the invasive body scanning horrors.

There's unfortunately not much we can do about that, I doubt anyone is particularly keen on international travel right now

I think any such "mini-summit" would necessarily **not** be exclusive of other such mini-summits in other locations, and be prepared for significantly lower attendance ✏

distributed mini-summits linked by video confs?

linking rooms by video conferences: cannot recommend
