sebastianTwo 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...

sebastian(we can also prepare some XMPP federation day on 05.02.2069 🤣️)
Ellenor Malik5/2 of every year should be xmpp day, after 5/2 this year
sebastianyes, possible
adiaholichas joined
jonas’sebastian, that only works in certain date formats unfortunately
sebastianbut 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 😉
sebastianjonas’, 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 …
jonas’you *are* aware that the XSF is in fact incorporated in the US? ;)

sebastianit 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

sebastiani 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
emusbut 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".
Ge0rGbut 5.2.22 is only once in a hundred years!
sebastianYes.. 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
Ge0rGwell, twice, if you also consider the 'murican way of writing dates
emusI 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
sebastianGe0rG, true. But there was also only once in a lifetime "IPv6 launch day", sometime in 2012?
Ge0rGsebastian: what's IPv6? ;)
emussebastian: if you want you can create a pad and collect ideas etc?
sebastiansome obscure protocol, most ISPs dont happily support and some peopel deacativate on purpose 😬️

GuusI 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.

jcbrandAnd the existence of one sometimes gets used for witch hunts
jonas’I want a code I can operate based on, because otherwise all I am going to get is haggling with the perpetrators whether something was ok or not.
MattJRight, but I did act, and it was a mess, and that's why although I am also "meh" on CoCs in general, I am in favour of this document existing and getting finalized
jcbrandOk
MattJI'd rather a world where such things weren't needed, but that's not the world we live in
MattJand that became too apparent to me last year, in an XSF discussion channel
ralphmOk then. So I guess we should reinvite people to comment on this experimental doc and then find a time to issue a last-call towards Active.

ralphmFrom 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.

jcbrandVariants will happen regardless of vaccination
jcbrandJust like with flu
Danielralphm: 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
ralphmdwd: I'm sure. I am done with not living, though.
jcbrandHow many people at a summit? 30?

dwdjcbrand, No, but ~nobody travels just for a summit.
dwdjcbrand, I mean, Kev does. But I don't think anyone else.

dwd:-D

dwdI've described the XSF in various venues as a drinking club with a standards problem, indeed.
jonas’ew
jonas’please don't include me in that description
dwdjonas’, Implicated by association. :-P
ralphmOne 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
ZashRibs, Beer and Standards
dwdjonas’, 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.
jcbrandActually, 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
