As usual, before FOSDEM a part of the XMPP community gathered for [https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_24 XMPP summit 24]. Over the course of two days many aspects of the XMPP protocol were discussed, including onboarding, 'rich presence', several aspects of encryption, MIX, Bind/SASL, Stickers and rich markup.
