Hi all,
I notice there's been relatively little feedback here on the list so
far. During the recent Summit session, the idea seemed to have stronger
support, so I'm wondering: are we reaching the same people on this list,
or is there actually less enthusiasm for this than I anticipated?
If there isn't clear support, it might indicate that there's little
appetite to move this forward. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts (either
way) so we have a better sense of whether it's worth pursuing.
Thanks!

As someone who pushed for it at the Summit, I'm clearly in favour.
We got a lot of content covered in last month's Summit, and I can't
believe it'd take a year to come up with that many ideas again.
- I can't think of any conference content that required physical
presence, aside from seeing quite how eagerly someone had their arm up
- I think that keeping it runtime under a day would make sense,
given folks will have home life commitments
- I think that unconference is ace, and we should keep that, but
since time is more limited, we should do that async in advance (can
Memberbot help with this?)

Hi everyone,
During the recent XMPP Summit, we discussed the idea of
organizing a second Summit in 2026, potentially as an online-
only event.
The motivation behind this idea would be to:
* Keep momentum going between in-person Summits
* Lower the barrier to participation
* Create space for focused discussions or follow-ups that
don’t necessarily require physical presence
At this stage, this is very much an open exploration, not a
proposal. Some questions that might be worth discussing:
* Is there interest in an additional Summit this year?
* What goals would such an event serve?
* Would an online format make sense, or are there better
alternatives?
* What kind of scope or duration would be reasonable?
I'd like to use this thread to gauge interest and collect
initial thoughts. If there's enough energy around this, we can
look at concrete next steps later.
Looking forward to your input.
Kind regards,
Guus
