Welcome to the XMPP Newsletter, great to have you here again! This issue covers
the month of February 2025.
Like this newsletter, many projects and their efforts in the XMPP community are
a result of people’s voluntary work. If you are happy with the services and
software you may be using, please consider saying thanks or help these
projects! Interested in supporting the Newsletter team? Read more [at the

XMPP at FOSDEM 2025
https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#xmpp-at-fosdem-2025
During February 1st and 2nd, the [XSF](https://xmpp.org) was present at [FOSDEM
25](https://fosdem.org/2025/) in Brussels, Belgium. The XMPP community took
part of the Realtime Lounge, a corner located on the 2nd floor of the K
building, where several open source projects around [Real Time Communication
(RTC)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/rtc/) can present themselves.
We are pleased to say that there was a lot of interaction at the XMPP booth! A
rather large number of FOSDEM visitors had the opportunity to come say “Hi!”,
meet, interact, talk and have interesting conversations with many of the
developers of the most popular clients, servers, tools and libraries that power
the whole XMPP ecosystem and bring it to life.
In addition to the activities that took place on the XMPP booth, [Jérôme
Poisson
(Goffi)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/speaker/jerome_poisson_goffi/) hosted
a most interesting presentation in the [Real Time Communication
(RTC)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/rtc/) room, titled: [A Universal
and Stable API to Everything:
XMPP](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5721-a-universal-and-stable-api-to-everything-xmpp/).
And, of course .. we had the coolest swag, and plenty of stickers! ;)

Extensions and specifications
https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#extensions-and-specifications
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP
series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP
RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from
around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications
for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by
anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending
on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life
cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html),
which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and
processes. [Read more about the standards
process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around
Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing
List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online
archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to
the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks,
the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council)
decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- [Server-side spaces](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/spaces.html)
- This document defines an XMPP protocol to cluster several groupchat rooms
together.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#new
- No new XEPs this month.
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be
moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the
XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#updated
- No XEPs updated this month.
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP
status. After the
[Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides
whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP
Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for
comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP
before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#stable
- No XEPs moved to Stable this month.
Deprecated
https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#deprecated
- No XEPs deprecated this month.
Rejected https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#rejected
- No XEPs rejected this month.

Help us to build the newsletter
https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#help-us-to-build-the-newsletter
This XMPP Newsletter is produced collaboratively by the XMPP community. Each
month’s newsletter issue is drafted in this [simple
pad](https://pad.nixnet.services/oHnY_ZvLT8SoFyCqIC2ung). At the end of each
month, the pad’s content is merged into the [XSF GitHub
repository](https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/milestone/3). We are always happy
to welcome contributors. Do not hesitate to join the discussion in our
[Comm-Team group chat (MUC)](xmpp:commt...@muc.xmpp.org?join) and thereby help
us sustain this as a community effort. You have a project and want to spread
the news? Please consider sharing your news or events here, and promote it to a
large audience.
Tasks we do on a regular basis:
- gathering news in the XMPP universe
- short summaries of news and events
- summary of the monthly communication on extensions (XEPs)
- review of the newsletter draft
- preparation of media images
- translations
- communication via media accounts
