Returning Business

- Talk to Matrix project?
- DMA
- Editors Update?
New Business
- Sponsorships - how can we revive this?
- Does CommTeam need to request access to the Reddit and Facebook accounts on XMPP from Ludovic even we are not affiliated officially?
- XSF & XMPP grows even we might do not recognize. What should we continue, stop, do differently and consider for the future?
- Do we list Board meeting links, if so where?
- Add license for website content - Is there an required action and whom could do it? https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/issues/407
- We are invited: Inlaws Podcast - 15th nov 2023 20:00 - 21:00 (Europe/Berlin)
- Eddie organizes around https://linuxinlaws.eu/ podcast invitation in Q4 2023
- Please add it to the time to the XSF Calendar.
- Please also let me know if you want to participate (and I kindly ask to join as I am quite limited to technical discussions) - let me know if you should also ask from the Community.
- I will prepare the communication preparations.
- Monal wants to join the Planet Jabber RSS feed
- Edward wants to mention how difficult it is to organise within the XSF Board on meetings, communication between meetings and calendar and wishes that we could agree on a way / platform (use of Google calendar, trello no xmpp chat for discussions on the side?) forward to get this a (single) modern setup.
- Edward requests the 15$ / per sprint-participant SCAM support for a sprint in June 23
- Praises again to wurstsalat rendering my organisation chart proposal: https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/

Minutes
Call to Order
Board members present: Ralph, Eddie, Matthew, Peter, Arc
Returning Business
IETF MIMI WG / MLS / DMA
- finding common ground with Matrix might not work out in practice
- Matrix protocol requirements are different from anything else
- federation with two competing s2s protocols would be difficult
- gateways would be ncessary if we don't have a common s2s protocol
- would be either XMPP or Matrix (or define a new protocol * silly!)
MLS
- we need to define an MLS profile for XMPP
- some work has been happening
* people from the Dino team (Rafael, etc.) * Daniel has said he can assist, too * Matthew is in touch with them * Peter volunteers to help * AI: Matthew to start email thread with the relevant parties
- one requirement in DMA is that if there's e2e then it should not be degraded
- but it should be optional
Editor Team update
- Kev has processed some issues and worked on some tooling
- scripts to review PRs and publish
- can be run locally
- publish to Docker registry
- bulk of the work now is doing all the triage (also a script for that)
- just doing the triage makes the other tasks trivial
- Peter has more cycles now to help
New Business
Infrastructure Team
- Jonathan is working on mailman etc.
- Edwin can restore DNS
sponsorships
- we've always worked on a small budget
- haven't been assertive about seeking sponsors
- most past sponsors have been software vendors in the XMPP space
- we could also seek out grants from large organizations
* example: https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/ * Eddie created brainstorming pad at https://pad.nixnet.services/K-DVXLFUSxaF4liewf0Smw#
- what would we need / want to spend money on?
marketing
- Facebook account?
- Reddit account?
- Ludovic created those
- we could create our own accounts
license for website content
- https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/issues/407
- should be straightforward
Inlaws podcast
- Ralph or Matthew should do it
Meetings
- Eddie and Peter to coordinate
SCAM
- The team has budget
- Board approval not needed for expenses within that budget
