What is the #XMPP Summit and should you go? 🧡

The XMPP Summit is a two day event for the people who write and implement XMPP extensions (XEPs). It is not a conference. There are no presentations. It is more like a round table discussion and active participation is encouraged.
Similar to an unconference at the beginning of Day 1 participants can suggest topics and others can indicate (via a +1) whether or not they are interested in that topic. Afterwards a rough order of topics is established

Interoperability is a big part of what makes #XMPP great. However agreeing on a common strategy or even establishing a rough priority for certain features can be hard.
I believe those in-person events do a lot in getting us on the same page.

If you are an XMPP developer (client, server, gateway) I strongly encourage you to come.

I keep saying 'developer' and use that as a shorthand for: To get the most out of the summit you should have a background in reading (and maybe even writing) XEPs.

At the #XMPP Summit βˆ’ after a topic is well-discussed and a rough consensus reached βˆ’ someone needs to volunteer to write the XEP.

Last year, I volunteered to write the XEP for synchronizing read states across devices.

It's called Message Displayed Synchronization and is now in Last Call, where community feedback is gathered before a XEP becomes 'stable.'

Prototype implementations are in @Monal and #Conversations_im.
