XSF Discussion - 2022-03-06

Right but no one cares about how the rest of the world does dates wrong

Well, if there is a "right way" to do dates, then it's not mm.dd.yy, but yyyy-mm-dd 😉

I'm not sure if there is a 'right way' but I'm pretty confident that there is a 'wrong way'...

Everyone: "there is a counterflow driver.." USA: " One? Hundreds!"

Folks - back to the topic - we can celebrate the whole year if nothing helps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So lets discuss if we want this and if you like the apporach :-)

> the american xmpp day, 2nd of may... 5.2.22 > Good luck 🙃 > As in port 5222, the official port of XMPP > 🤯 Interesting story.

> Hello XSF folks! > I (emus) started an initiative to celebrate XMPP this year. I have a loose idea to collect statements from the community, developers, users, projects etc. > I cannot state yet that we will post all of them and how, to ensure some quality. But let's start with collection. We can discuss later how we going to deal with it best. > Tell a "tweetable" story, experience, background about XMPP. Why do you use it, why do you think its great? Why are you involved? How did you come to XMPP? What ever you think that affects this and suits! We should go for a wide spectrum of stories! > Date: Well, I see people might can take this as a joke - but we can find a work around maybe - open for suggestions! > https://yopad.eu/p/xmpp-celebration2022 > Let me know if things needs to be board approved or whatever I don't see here! > What do you think? :-) > Cheers > Eddie A very good idea. There is certainly already a lot of material, I think of many entries here in the groups that could be used, perhaps with the consultation of the relevant participants. Maybe it could be used for a lecture at the upcoming "DIVOC" at Easter by the CCC. At least the concept would have to be submitted there by 13.03. It would have a wide scope for describing and presenting Jabber/XMPP. Perhaps this could also be discussed in the 'rC3/DIVOC' room. xmpp:rc3@conference.monocles.de?join We from the 'Literatur Café 7' room xmpp:test-ccc-1@conference.monocles.de?join also try to make a cultural contribution to the upcoming 'DIVOC'. So if you are interested ... ;-)

I'm fine if someone uses their chance to make a presentation but I personally don't have the resource. Especially, if we get the Go by Google tonight (I really hope we made it) ✏

> Especially, if we get the Go by Google tonight Go from Google for what? Google Summer, emus?

yes

I created a more or less permanent pad: https://yopad.eu/p/xmpp-celebration2022-365days

Would be happy to hear, from the XSF officials, if that would be a supported happening? But of course from other members, too.

we are accepted into gsoc \o/

🎉️

nice!

Congratulations! And thanks everyone who worked on it so far, especially emus and that incessant determination to succeed :)

Awesome!

Thanks to emus for their hard work!

🎉🎉 ok I see you just announced. I was waiting as Google asked for to make it public - but who really cares ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 Yes, it was really important to me, to get this a sucessful application 😍

emus: excellent work as usual

moparisthebest: Many thanks! but also thanks to vanitasvitae flow wurstsalat Kev larma, ri0n sam jcbrand and TheCoffeeMaker for support, review, feedback, website and translation (I hope I did not forget anyone here)

🤗

Ha, but I was really scared after Google's mail these days that 25% of the organisations lagged details in their application. But luckily we were really early with everything and I assume also the wiki was good already before
