A discussion (Spanish) on Quey compared the performance of XMPP and Matrix. Seems that XMPP outperforms easily!
Liz Flynn scheduled a notification for IETF-107 for Messaging Layer Security (MLS). You can read the current architecture draft here.
After a recent secruity flaw in WhatsApp groups, the FSFE recommends XMPP as decentral and open alternative amd solution. The XSF tweeted about this already. LINK https://post.lurk.org/@pep/103736689790093261
debxwoody has started to build a place for German users of XMPP including social media, mailing list, homepage and a blog. He is calling for supporters!

In March there will be two XMPP Sprints in Düsseldorf and Berlin. Feel free to join and support the community and their work!
On 1-2 February, FOSDEM, was held in Brussels, Belgium. As usual the XMPP community coordinated the Real-Time Lounge, a corner where several open source projects around Real Time Communication can present themselves. At the XMPP booth there were lots of nice conversations with FOSDEM visitors. The easy onboarding of Snikket was one of the eye catchers at the booth. In the Real Time developers room thee was a talk about the modularity of the XMPP protocol by Winfried Tilanus.
As usual, before FOSDEM a part of the XMPP community gathered for 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. The attendants regarded this summit as very productive and many of the discussions already resulted in proposed protocol extensions and patches to existing extensions.
