Realtime Lounge

This year, we will again have an enormous stand, together with Jitsi, called the Realtime Lounge. That needs filling with people! We're aiming to showcase exciting and inventive XMPP-based projects, and we need your help both to provide things to demo, and hang out answering questions from the crowd.

Also, please volunteer to spend some time at the lounge so that our hardworking volunteers can do things like eat lunch or catch some talks! The lounge hours are 10:00-19:00 on Saturday and 10:00-17:00 on Sunday.

  • Happy to spend some time on/at the stand during either/both days (Lloyd Watkin)

Demos

We are planning to host demonstrations at the lounge. If you would like to present a demo, please list it below.

  • Iot devices: a few XMPP connected devices such as raspberries and alike (Joachim Lindborg)
  • Salut à Toi (http://salut-a-toi.org): an AGPL XMPP communication tool which is multi-frontends (web, console, desktop) and multi-features (microbloging, games, file sharing, etc). (Adrien Cossa [souliane] + Jérôme Poisson [goffi])
  • Movim (https://movim.eu) : A web-based social network client fully built on XMPP (with Jaussoin Timothée [edhelas]) + Android WebApp.

Gear and supplies

Sponsors

While FOSDEM or our stand is free-of-cost itself, we do have some costs to organise it. This includes furniture, decoration and transport. Also, it is a tradition for the XSF to hold a dinner one evening during FOSDEM and the Summit. Sponsorship from individuals or organisations to help reduce the costs to attendees is always appreciated. As sponsors step forward they'll be listed at the Summit 17 page.

If you or the organisations you work for would like to sponsor the dinner (no donation too small), then please contact any XSF Board Member. See Summit 17 for details.
