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?

  • Add license for website content - Is there an required action and whom could do it? https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/issues/407

    • 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

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
