The XSF recently held the XMPP Summit 13 in Brussels this past week, specifically January 31 and February 1, 2013 – and truth be told we are all exhausted and amazed at how much discussion and planning can happen in two days when you get a bunch of bright, smart folks in the same room. We would like to thank again our sponsors, who really stood up and helped make the event a success:[Read More]

We’ve decided to hold the next XMPP Summit in Portland, Oregon at the end of October. Mark your calendars for October 25th, which is the day after the Keeping it Realtime conference. Co-locating the XMPP Summit with krtconf makes a lot of sense, since both events are focused on building real-time applications. Many details are yet to be worked out (e.g., we might hold a two-day Summit instead of a one-day Summit), but we will post again in a few weeks once we know more.[Read More]

Once again the XMPP community came together recently in Brussels to discuss XMPP technologies at the XMPP Summit and to evangelize at the Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM). Here is a brief “trip report” from yours truly, XSF executive director Peter Saint-Andre. The weekend consisted of several related events: a “hackfest” on Friday at the Cisco offices outside Brussels, a “devroom” on Saturday afternoon at FOSDEM (held at a local university), an official XSF dinner on Sunday evening, and Monday it was back to the Cisco offices for the XMPP Summit in the morning and an interim meeting of the IETF’s XMPP Working Group in the afternoon.[Read More]

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.[Read More]

In a bit more than two weeks (!) the tenth XMPP Summit to be held by the XMPP Standards Foundation will happen. February 4-7, 2011, in Brussels, Belgium (the same weekend as FOSDEM 2011). The space available for the Summit itself has already reached the room capacity for the Feb 7th Summit day and there are only a handful of slots available for the Feb 4th Hackfest! Sponsors are still being sought for the XSF Dinner and I’m hearing talk that details of the Dev Challenge will be known very soon![Read More]
