Revision as of 20:41, 18 September 2019

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


Contributors: 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.
