Revision as of 13:12, 29 April 2018

Here you can submit news items for inclusion in the next XMPP Newsletter (as managed by the CommTeam).


What determines relevancy?

The submission must ideally be a blog or article about XMPP/Jabber and/or XMPP-based software (clients, servers, libs).

Some exceptions might be made, for example for a release page showing a new release of some XMPP-based software.

However, marketing brochures (e.g. single-page marketing sites) for new products which don't contain information on XMPP, won't be included.

Submissions

Jeff Becker has released a tutorial, "New life for XMPP. Build your own decentralized messenger!", using Prosody and Pidgin. https://i2p.rocks/blog/new-life-for-xmpp-build-your-own-decentralized-messenger.html
