Dear all,
the XMPP Standards Foundation once again plans to apply for the Google
Summer of Code 2024!
https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/11/google-summer-of-code-2024-celebr…
Hereby, I call everyone interested to reach out and start planning their
participation. If you are interested please review:
- Read the mentoring guide or at least watch their Youtube videos:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq
- The time you can really spent as mentor:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline
- Your project runs under a OSI approved license:
https://opensource.org/licenses/
- You will require to register to Google's organization platform with an
Google account. However, you don't need a Google mail, just carefully
follow the steps.
- Communicate and reach out in your OWN community too.
- You and your students need to be available continuously through XMPP.
In the recent years I had the experience people being offline and were
not able to reach through their XMPP accounts sufficiently.
Regarding the latter, the stipend also has interest for community
bonding, also to XMPP in general. You shouldn't expect students to solve
difficult implementation unless you know them and their capabilities.
Application starts at Monday, 22nd January 2024, please have potential
ideas ready by then.
Changes to GSoC to this year for your interest:
- "Starting in 2024 we will have small (~90 hour projects), medium (~175
hr projects) and large (~350 hour) projects available to GSoC
contributors. Orgs should have medium and large projects available in
their Project Ideas lists. Small project ideas are not required for
orgs, but if the smaller size project works for your org they should be
included in your Organization’s Ideas List."
Find our wikipage for organization here:
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summer_of_Code_2024
To edit the page, reach out to an XSF member to enter your input or
you’ll need a wiki account, which we’ll happily provide for you. Reach
out in the XSF public chatroom:
https://xmpp.org/chat#converse/room?jid=xsf@muc.xmpp.org
I am happy to hear from a backup org admin to help me here and there or
if I cannot make it due to other appointments. Basic organization skills
should be sufficient.
Let me know if you have further questions. Please join:
Cheers,
Eddie

With the support of JMP.chat we have also a funding for one project.
This allows us to apply for Outreachy funding as well.
So, by this message I invite to sign-up with project ideas on our
Outreachy page. Please read the guidelines before you are engaging in
this and make yourself familiar with the program:

Hello,
Prior to FOSDEM 2024, members of the XMPP Standards Foundation convene
for XMPP Summit 26. The annual summit in Brussels traditionally includes
the XSF dinner, which is hosted by the XSF for its members, friends, and
sponsors, to thank them for their hard work and support for the
foundation and its mission.
Also, it's great fun.
The dinner will take place on the Thursday prior to FOSDEM, at
restaurant L'Auberge Brétonne (Brusselsesteenweg 670 – 3090 OVERIJSE).
We would like you to be there! If you're interested in joining us,
please RSVP by fill out a short form at
https://forms.gle/dqVboQpieU3x4USU9 <https://forms.gle/dqVboQpieU3x4USU9>.
We'll need your RSVP before 20:00 UTC, Tuesday 30 January (tomorrow!).
If you're not a member or sponsor, you're still most welcome to attend.
We do ask you cover the costs of food, drink and transport.
Kind regards,
Ralph

Hi everyone,
I just learned about a European Commission initiative called NGI0
Commons Fund, which provides funding for FOSS projects and individual
developers based in Europe and "partner" countries like the UK. This
could be beneficial for projects and people in the XMPP community, so
you might want to check it out:

Dear all,
a kind reminder on the XMPP Summit 26.
If you plan to sign-up and come to Brussels please reach out to me or
the SCAM Team first from now on. Use the second table to sign-up first.
Please update you entries if you have signed up already. Please also
remove your entry if you decided not to come anymore. At least reply to
me so I can update the list.
Consider to spread the word and also ask newcomers to participate if
they are interested.

### XMPP SUMMIT 26
**Important reminder**
Dear all,
one month to go until our annual summit takes place ✨ We are all looking very excited forward to this!
We just published a blogpost with some details: https://xmpp.org/2024/01/xmpp-summit-26/
Please help to spread the word.
Thanks for all who have signed up already. We are almost 30 people, this is really great 🤯.
By latest *Monday, 15th January* we kindly ask you revisit the following points:
- Sign-up if you haven't yet
- Please update your entries in the list (incl. removal if you do not participate)
- Also announce you membership and dinner participation (new columns)
- Join the Summit chat room or summit maillist (see blogpost)
- Sign-up if you want to give a talk / presentation up to 30 minutes.
- We are also happy to see listing if you are remote participating
In that regard refer to the wikipage: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_26
If there is more interest for individual sponsoring of the event or dinner that is of course also appreciated.
Looking forward to see you in Brussel 🇧🇪
This message is for the Board of Directors, but in the interest of
transparency I am sending it to the members(a)xmpp.org list.
I'd like to request a vote of the Board on XEP-0458: Code of Conduct.
The document has been in a half-completed state for quite some time, but
we held a Last Call on it in November and updated the document in
December. Thus it is now ready for advancement as an active policy of
the XSF.
You can review the document here:
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0458.html

P.S. It would be nice to have this in place before the Summit / FOSDEM
events a few weeks from now.
