The XMPP Blog

The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF), together with our friends from the Matrix and Delta Chat communities, is organising a Decentralised Messaging devroom at FOSDEM, and we are looking for speakers! Focused on federated and self-hostable chat, this devroom brings our ecosystems together to tackle shared challenges. Although our architectures look pretty different under the hood, we face many of the same hurdles. We want to get together to share operational and implementation experiences, discuss shared technical challenges, and look at practical ways our networks can cooperate.  [Read More]
