Two years back or so I casually mentioned (in one of the higher traffic XMPP MUCs, not sure which) having 5.2.22 (February 5th this year) as **the XMPP day** ... I guess no one picked up the idea, did someone?
I'm not having any resources (mostly lacking time) at the moment to prepare something, other than resharing the idea to prepare some kind of website that tells the user what xmpp is, why it might be better than the alternatives and how to get started. Maybe heise.de or similar newsportals or techblogs would pick the story up, there is a lot of fuss about signal and telegram this week... Not sure If anyone is even bothering to promote XMPP. Maybe someone is even working on something? Just thought I'd ask here...

5/2 of every year should be xmpp day, after 5/2 this year
sebastian
yes, possible
adiaholichas joined
jonas’
sebastian, that only works in certain date formats unfortunately
sebastian
but this year we have the only chance (for the next 100 yrs i guess) to have 5.2.22 🙂 Unless we (we as in, i think XMPP is mostly a europen thing) would accept 2nd of May 5/2/22 as XMPP day 😉
sebastian
jonas’, true...
jonas’
2022-02-05 would be the ISO way of writing that date, I think some crazy locales write it as 2/5/22 …

I have not a terribly great idea what we could do though, let's page some from commsteam like emus.

it wouldn't even be much work right? just registering a cheap domain (like XMPP-day.live for 2€/yr), put a static website withsome info in the major languages (or languages we can find someone to contribute in) and then email it to blogs

i don't know if it would be succesfull, but i just like the story of a XMPP day that is approaching. 5222 is even used by some jabber service as the name or part of their name (https://5222.de/ ) and IPv6 also had it's IPv6 day (altough only 10 yrs later see we really adoption that is worth talking about 😉 )

April 1st? It would allow for more time, but the date would not look interesting ... 1.4.22 or 22-4-1... unlike 5.2.22 🙂
> Lets rather develop on our page.
Where the informatoin is hosted later is not so much important as to the message to have a kind of "XMPP appreciation day"
> we also are low on ressources
Thats the problem. We would need some person(s) who are interested and have time to push it. Also some webdesigner would be nice to make it look good and not just a wall of text. I'm terrible at story telling, so someone who knows how to clearly communicate so the majority of people get the message quick would be an advantage
BASSGODhas left
emus
but isnt the focus on how the date looks a bit of the wrong parameter?
Most important is what we will call for at this day and also communicate? And then get it on "paper".
Ge0rG
but 5.2.22 is only once in a hundred years!
sebastian
Yes.. i'm happy about any promotion about xmpp. My idea was just to combine the date, that looks like the default XMPP port with the message about XMPP
Ge0rG
well, twice, if you also consider the 'murican way of writing dates
emus
I think if we frame around this day we can ask all projects to write something and we put it on one website we are posting tot the networks
sebastian
Ge0rG, true. But there was also only once in a lifetime "IPv6 launch day", sometime in 2012?
Ge0rG
sebastian: what's IPv6? ;)

I wonder if https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#impl-service-ghosts is sensible (something that Kev warned me about earlier, I think). Specifically: I think that the listed 'delivery-related' errors can occur in an IQ stanza response, without actually being indicative of a vanished user.

From XEP-0001: An Experimental (or Deferred) XEP may be proposed to the Approving Body for advancement to Stable (Standards Track XEPs) or Active (Historical, Informational, and Procedural XEPs). This can be requested from the Approving Body on the Standards list by, or in collaboration with, the XEP author. In case the XEP has been abandoned by its author(s), any other individual can propose advancement in their stead. The Approving Body will then require a Document Shepherd to take on responsibilities on behalf of the XEP author during the proposal and approval processes. The Approving Body must agree that the XEP is ready to be considered for advancement. Once the Approving Body so agrees, it shall instruct the XMPP Extensions Editor to (1) change the status of the XEP from Experimental (or Deferred) to Proposed and (2) issue a Last Call for open discussion on the Standards list. The Last Call shall expire not less than fourteen (14) days after the date of issue.

Traditionally (I hate that there is already a traditionally with the pandemic) summers have been quiter. So late-ish summer after we all got the omikron booster might be the best option for a on person event
Zash
Brussels in summer instead of Brussels in slush? That might be nice
Daniel
> maybe keep our eyes and ears open for other events we could piggy-back on
I'd be surprised to see any larger in person events happening this year
jonas’
OpenInfra is intended to be in person, but also in july (or was it june?) and with just 1k people.
jonas’
I don't find that super unrealistic looking at historic case data for that month
dwd
What might work is to drive a series of smaller online conferences driving at specific goals.

Daniel: really? PyCon in the US seems to be happening. I think that everything is starting up again soon.
dwd
I've heard of some in-person confs which have switched from two days in person to a week of 2-hour lunchtime online conferences, and it seems to work really well.
jcbrand
Meh
jcbrand
Lunchtime is sacred
ralphm
I don't particularly care about online events. At all.
dwd
ralphm, Unless vaccination starts occuring globally, I think we're looking at another variant soon enough.
jcbrand
Me neither
dwd
No, I'm not that excited by online events either. But where the option is nothing at all...
jcbrand
Variants will happen regardless of vaccination
jcbrand
Just like with flu
Daniel
ralphm: dunno. I think the problem with larger events is not that there is never a time period where case numbers are lower. But the uncertainty. And large events need to be planned
ralphm
dwd: I'm sure. I am done with not living, though.
jcbrand
How many people at a summit? 30?
jcbrand
Not that huge

jcbrand, I mean, Kev does. But I don't think anyone else.

I've described the XSF in various venues as a drinking club with a standards problem, indeed.

ew

please don't include me in that description
dwd
jonas’, Implicated by association. :-P
ralphm
One only has a standards problem when there are not enough of them, right?
jonas’
I'm gonna put "strict non-alcohol drinker" on my next application :P
Zash
Ribs, Beer and Standards
dwd
jonas’, We've had plenty of high-profile non-drinkers - you, Kev, Remko - the problem is we also have the rest of us, and we make up your shortfall.
jcbrand
Actually, I don't like drinking too much at confs, I hate hangovers and don't like the cognitive impairment the next day, but I like meeting socially and chatting with people and a bit of alcohol really helps to take the edge off
