The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) will hold its 27th XMPP Summit in Brussels, Belgium next year again! These are the two days preceding FOSDEM 2025. The XSF invites everyone interested in development of the XMPP protocol to attend, and discuss all things XMPP in person and remote! The Summit The XMPP Summit is a two day event for the people who write and implement XMPP extensions (XEPs). The event is not a conference and besides small and short lightning talks there are no long presentations. The participants, where everyone is welcome, are sitting at a round table to discuss and active participation is encouraged. Similar to an unconference at the beginning all participants can suggest topics and others can indicate via votes whether or not they are interested in that topic. Afterwards a rough order of topics is established that will be followed in moderation with the participants. [Read More]

19th XMPP Summit In late January 2016, from the 28th to the 29th, the XSF held its XMPP Summit in Brussels, Belgium. It was the 19th meeting by XMPP standards writers, implementers, and enthusiasts since the first XMPP Summit in July 2006. Among the topics we discussed were MIX, efficient reconnections and, as always, end-to-end security. XSF at work at XMPP Summit MIX, defined in XEP-0369: Mediated Information Exchange, is a replacement for the current multi-user chat standard (XEP-0045).
