Board and Council Elections


As posted at http://blog.xmpp.org/ ...

***

Once a year, the XMPP Standards Foundation holds elections for its Board
of Directors and for the XMPP Council. That time is now, so the XSF is
actively soliciting people to stand for election. Here is the division
of responsibilities between the two groups:

   1. The Board provides business leadership for the XSF by handling
things like fundraising, contracts, grants, legal issues, planning the
XMPP Summit meetings, and choosing volunteers for various official posts
such as the Secretary and Executive Director. Those who serve on the
Board are not required to be elected members of the XSF.

   2. The Council provides technical leadership for the XSF by managing
the XSF's standards process, deciding which proposals to accept as
official XEPs, voting on advancement of XEPs through the process from
Experimental to Draft to Final, and providing oversight for the
functions of the XMPP Extensions Editor and the XMPP Registrar. Those
who serve on the XMPP Council are required to be elected members of the XSF.

If you are interested in standing for election, please visit
http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Board_and_Council_Elections_2009 and create a
page about your candidacy by the close of business on Friday, September
11, 2009.

D.C. meeting September 14


It seems that there will be a meeting of the DC Area XMPP/Jabber User
Group (new to me!) on September 14 at 4:00 PM at the Arlington Central
Library in Arlington, VA, USA. More here:

Discovered via http://collecta.com/#q=xmpp of course. ;-)

Matthias is smart. :)

I just confirmed with my friends at StartCom that they don't even accept
fancy stuff in the admin-generated CSR (instead the domains are assigned
at the application level) to avoid NULL exploits and other tricks that
malicious admins tend to play. So at least from StartCom in the future
people will probably be getting multiple certs or (Class 2) wildcard certs.

Wow, finally some XMPP action on the east coast. It's about time.

Any clients with 0115 (Caps) 1.5 support?

Hi,

I'm looking for clients that support XEP-0115 version 1.5 to test  
interoperability with my own code.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Gajim does. Don't hesitate to report interop problems!

Gajim, Tkabber and telepathy-gabble (used by Empathy). Last year, I
tested the compatibility between telepathy-gabble and the 2 other ones
(whether they compute the hash correctly). It was fine. I am interested
to know regressions, if any :-)

Add a timestamp and/or ID to message stanzas

I need to add either a guaranteed unique timestamp, or a timestamp plus a guaranteed unique ID to EVERY message stanza passing through an XMPP server. The timestamp will be displayed in customized clients, and the timestamp or ID, will be used to store and retrieve messages from a database.

I've done quite a bit of searching, and so far in the XMPP docs, I've only seen references to message IDs as optional, and timestamps as being used for delayed delivery. So I think I'll be developing a custom extension, in a non-standard namespace.

Questions:
1. Have I overlooked an already existing spec for what I need to do?
2. Can I add this functionality using an external XMPP component(XEP-0114), or will I have to write a mod for a specific XMPP server(ejabberd most likely)?
3. Is it easy/possible to create a guaranteed unique timestamps in an ejabberd component?

Thanks for any enlightenment provided.

Hi John,

I don't think you have.

You probably can't, as a component typically only handles the traffic
that is routed to it by the server (and servers typically only route
traffic that is directed to a certain subdomain to the component).
What you need is a server plugin that gets handed all server stanzas
for filtering. AFAIK, most servers support this, but as it's a plugin,
your implementation will be tied to a specific server implementation.

cheers,
Remko
