👋️ Hey everyone. I know I mentioned this breifly a few months ago, but it's now official: root and I will be co-running a one-day XMPP track at FOSSY this year. We have five 50 minute slots to fill (or ten 25 minute slots or whatever, it's a bit flexible) so especially if you are this side of the ocean (but maybe even if you're not) we'd love to hear from people interested in presenting or otherwise participating

There is some limited money available for travel sponsorships for presenters and participants, so if money is the thing holding you back do let me know

singpolyma: you got a muc for it?
-
singpolyma
moparisthebest: does everything need a new muc? Heh. I'm happy to make one if needed, or just coordinate in existing places
-
moparisthebest
Hehe just wondered, do you know which day yet?
-
singpolyma
Not yet

I think there may still be a chance to expand it if we needed even, but I expect one day will be good for us at this point :)
-
moparisthebest
I'd like to go and talk but might struggle to fill 50 minutes, and probably won't attend the full 4 days :)
-
moparisthebest
Looking forward to meeting anyone who can attend too
-
deimos
I'm likely to attend a day or two.
-
singpolyma
We're free to divide up the 50 minutes however makes sense, so let me know what you think you can realistically fill :)
-
singpolyma
deimos: nice
-
singpolyma
Not all content has to be highly technical either. The conference is pretty broad.
-
moparisthebest
Was just about to ask about that, how technical should it be
-
singpolyma
There will also be tracks about community organizing and legal issues, so I definitely expect devs but not only devs :)
-
deimos
I'll do a session on writing an xmpp client in armv8a assembly. ;)
-
singpolyma
For the wiphone? ;)
-
moparisthebest
I can probably only talk about things interesting to devs, ask my wife
