The #XSF#Summit just officially ended. Thanks to everyone who was there and contributed to the interesting discussions on the #XMPP protocol in #Brussels.
On the 30th of january the #XMPP community is organizing a development sprint focused on #UX and #UI in the XMPP ecosystem.
XMPP is a long standing protocol for federated chat which in recent years underwent impressive technical modernization that brought the ecosystem modern mobile clients, cross device chat and end-to-end encryption based on Signal.
The XMPP community organizes so-called sprints where developers gather from across Europe to work on the ecosystem.
Even though the ecosystem saw many improvements in recent years, the UX across the ecosystem still leaves a lot to be desired. To begin addressing this, the next XMPP Sprint will be focused on UX and UI, particularly in regards to naming conventions.
That is why we’d like to invite members of the open source design community to join us on the 30th of January in the offices of Open Source Publishing[1]. On february the 1st we will also do a smaller meetup in the margins of FOSDEM.
If you already have an account on the XMPP network, join us in our Sprint chatroom: xmpp:xmpp-sprint@chat.cluxia.eu?join
My #FOSDEM talk about "Salut à Toi" has been accepted in #Python dev room! So I'll finally come to FOSDEM :)
I have proposed an other one more focused on XMPP (and how we have used it beyond instant messaging) in the RTC devroom, still waiting for the decision.
> But I dare to say a lot of the issues of #XMPP could be resolved if the community just focussed on some of these
I'm not aware of anything that someone has complained about that the XMPP community doesn't know and for which there aren't people working on solutions.
Many of these people are volunteers and spend their life energy and time on this massive task, without any compensation.
And they're competing with multi-billion dollar companies.
Last weekend I took some time to join the sprint in #duesseldorf and work together with the developers to update the homebrewserver.club configuration to get the most out of the 0.11 release.
Following this guide you should give you the most up-to date, feature rich and compatible xmpp setup possible at the moment.
