DESCRIPTION:When it comes to digital independence\, various solutions are b
 eing discussed in the field of communication and instant messaging. On the
  one hand\, there is the centralized service of a US non-profit organizati
 on. On the other hand\, there is the publicly documented API of a company 
 that was largely built with venture capital. However\, it might be worth t
 aking a look at long-standing solutions that follow an actual internet sta
 ndard and stand out due to numerous independent implementations.\n\nJabber
 /XMPP is one such internet standard and is "ready for prime time".\n\nIn o
 ver 25 years\, the XMPP instant messaging protocol has seen its fair share
  of ups and downs. This talk highlights the recent history of the protocol
  and explains why open source alone\, without federation and vendor-indepe
 ndent standards\, is not enough for true digital sovereignty. The current 
 status quo of XMPP is showcased through modern features like emoji reactio
 ns\, moderation\, read state synchronization across multiple devices\, and
  time zone indicators for contacts. Additionally\, the presentation offers
  a look ahead at upcoming protocol extensions and the initiative to return
  to the IETF with "XMPP 2.0" to update the existing RFC standards. Finally
 \, attendees will learn how to easily and smoothly get started in the XMPP
  ecosystem today.
