Six days (!) until the tenth XMPP Summit to be held by the XMPP Standards Foundation will happen.
Yes, in less than a week, a collection of XMPP devs and geeks will swarm the FOSDEM 2011 conference (February 4-7, 2011, in Brussels, Belgium) and dazzle folks with how distributed systems are supposed to work.
Please do visit the XMPP Summit wiki page for a detailed breakdown of the schedule and also to register/sign up for any of the events.
