roll call
* board members: Matthew, Peter, Ralph
* regrets: Edward
* other folks: Daniel Gultsch
 
(Ralph summarizes)...
* follow up on FOSDEM conversations (e.g., with Stuart)
* opportunity to play a role on interoperability
* EU legislation on the way
* we haven't been at the table to participate in these discussions
* upcoming interoperability workshop in Brussels
* https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/dma/dma-workshops/interoperability-workshop_en
* https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2023-02/20230227_dma_interoperability_workshop_agenda.pdf
* Ralph will attend (only one representative per organization)
* it should be relatively easy for us to raise funds to work on this
* if we formulate a good plan
* might be a challenge if that money flows through the XSF
* best could be if XSF functions as a fiscal host
 
Matthew:
* we need to figure out what we want to achieve
* this first workshop could be a good way to test the waters
* agree that we don't want to become a large organization with much money
* the fiscal hosting could be a good framework
 
Peter:
* yes, putting together a plan is the first step
* let's figure out the opportunities and what resources are needed (also the timeframe)
* AI: Peter create a stub plan on the wiki
 
Ralph:
* this workshop at the end of February seems like a good place to start
* supposedly EU expects to enforcing interoperability by 2025
 
topic: IETF MIMI WG
* definitely a reaction to the DMA
* but framed in a more neutral manner
* the gatekeepers might never adopt it
* and they're not involved in the WG
* it's not necessarily the case that MIMI will 100% succeed or 100% fail
* three layers: transport, encryption, content
* a document about XMPP as transport layer could help in the MIMI effort
* one challenge is e2e encryption
* if we have an MLS profile in XMPP, would that solve the problem?
* not really, because there are MLS parameters and they differ across systems
* XMPP MLS profile would help
* content layer is all being designed from scratch
* what is the delta between what we have and what the requirements are?
 
topic: why XMPP is a protocol of choice
* we can do a better job of this
* perhaps an initiative to create this
 
topic: workshop panel about interoperability and security
* representatives from Cisco, META, Mozilla, etc.
* AI: Peter to reach out to likely attendees
 
topic: a few thoughts on plans
* transport (and perhaps encryption and content) draft for MIMI
* MLS profile for XMPP (there's already activity here by people Matthew mentions)
* roadmap for EU interop
 
topic: engagement with XMPP vendors
* XSF should be more active here
