    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

  2. Ge0rG

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

  3. emus

    Does this also mean that current elected dont wanna continue?

  4. Ge0rG

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

  5. emus

    haha

  6. Zash

    itym just before close of business on the 7th

  7. Ge0rG

    That.

  8. Ge0rG

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

  9. Alex

    Ge0rG, go, go , go

  10. Ge0rG

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

  11. dwd

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

  12. Zash

    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.

  13. dwd

    Zash, There's that, yes.

  14. Ge0rG used to do XEP work while on the train; the amount of time available during those trips probably won't come back any time soon.

  15. dwd

    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.

  16. Ge0rG

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

  17. dwd

    Little time but much energy.

  18. dwd

    I did more on the Eurostar, in fairness.

  19. Zash

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

  20. Ge0rG

    Somebody buy dwd a circular trip ticket

  21. Zash

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

  22. Zash

    Dungeon Train?

  23. dwd

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

  24. MattJ

    You can count me in of course

  25. jonas’

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

  26. Zash

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

  27. MattJ

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

  28. MattJ

    I think any such "mini-summit" would necessarily be exclusive of other such mini-summits in other locations, and be prepared for significantly lower attendance

  29. MattJ

    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

  30. Zash

    distributed mini-summits linked by video confs?

  31. jonas’

    linking rooms by video conferences: cannot recommend
