XSF Discussion - 2021-11-30

Anyone here who has permissions to update board and council mailing lists?

I believe Peter's already done Council. I have access to both, I believe.

If you'd like to mail me at my Isode address who you want on both, I can see it done.

Thank you Kev, you will receive an EMail shortly

Can one explain me the current discussion woth Fosdem? (serious question)

Is it about its going to be cancled or not?

What current discussion?

(did I miss something?)

I saw discussions here

Zash?

The RTC devroom proposal wasn't accepted

guus.der.kinderen:

FOSDEM isn't cancelled

ah ok :-(

Any reasons?

Originally we had a dedicated Jabber/XMPP room, and then that evolved into a more general Real-time Communications, and one of those has been present at every FOSDEM for... over 10 years

So it's somewhat suprising

omg... have you asked for their reasons? I think that should be a point I guess that does not just affect XMPP but also other networks

Ha

There may be a good reason

Assuming https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/ is up to date, RTC is listed as a main track

omg... but matrix got their ones?

Is it possible to see the proposal?

Yes, looks like they have a dedicated devroom

yes. I saw that, sorry was more a statement

The whole event takes place on Matrix, like last year.

Oh yes, it's true, RTC is a main track: https://twitter.com/fosdem/status/1465713109176229895 (posted just 25 minutes ago)

but I guess thats not a reason to not give us a dev room...

Well, an XMPP devroom was not applied for

ah, I understand yes I understood, but the RTC I meant

but I see its a main track

but then everything is fine?

Sure

is there somthing to announce / to do?

No

ok

But is there a call for XMPP/XSF community people/member to attend?

Should we do this?

XMPP was born officially in 01 Apr 2000 Ge0rG used to say right? 🙂

1999*

January 04, 1999, but it could very well be a date conversion artefact and it was 1/4 instead of 4/1

Thanks!

do we have any official mobile phone numbers/devices in XSF? in the board?

I believe there will be a separate call for Main Track talks for FOSDEM. If it is a bit like last year, then somewhere in December: https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/news/2020-12-12-call-for-participation/

That's where people could propose talks, when a similar call for 2022 is made. I don't know how the selection then works or if the people usually involved with the RTC devroom (incl me) would be involved.

As for official phone numbers, if someone needs mine, you can find it on my website.

or just ask me

ralphm, thanks. I create a remote account for the XSF Commteam but used my spam phone number. I think it would make sense to use a different one. Maybe I loose it one day

and in that regard. Can you give this account the remote posting permissions so I can tweet on the official XSF account?

@XSFCommTeam

I don't know what that means but ask Kev, I think

Ah ok - Kev?

And before someone thinks of following, please refuse. It's just planned as remote

maybe the official XSF phone number should be from jmp.chat so it could be used over XMPP :)

If you want an account to have Twitter access, mail my Isode address please, and I'll try to sort it in the morning.
