Newsletter subject/title

Full speed XMPP universe!

Intro (remove this)

Welcome to the XMPP newsletter covering the month of January 2020, which has seen a lot of activity!

Help us sustain this as a community effort, which process is fully documented.

Articles

Ingo Jürgensmann has written two interesting articles:

David Wong wrote an insightful point by point piece: A history of end-to-end encryption and the death of PGP

This Twitter thread started by Thierry Stoehr shows various use cases of XMPP in Instant Messaging: healthcare, miltary, police and law enforcement, municipal services, intelligence agencies, in-games chat... Please "Like" and "Share", and even add the use cases you have seen in action.

Mike Kuketz started of a series about different messengers including XMPP: Die verrückte Welt der Messenger – Messenger Teil1 (German).

  3. Account Rich Presence in PEP
  4. MLS
  5. End-to-End Encryption Key Management
  6. Palaver IM Client
  7. Why Push Notifications are not good enough?
  8. MIX when?
  9. IM-NG
  10. commTeam ("Lightning talk")
  11. Inbox / Unread / Bind2
  12. XMPP as mandatory standard? (Lightning talk)
  13. Stickers

We will probably cover all these in more depth next month.
