### Friday, February 6: Jingle Thingle{#friday}

A hackfest and brainstorming session for [Jingle](https://xmpp.org/tech/jingle.shtml) developers who want to code and test their implementations (primarily voice and video, but we will also discuss file transfer, end-to-end encryption, and other use cases). The tentative schedule is 9:30 to 4:30 but it may run later (but not too late because we don't want to miss the [FOSDEM Beer Event](http://www.fosdem.org/2009/beerevent)!).

### Sunday, February 8: FOSDEM{#sunday}

Developers are free to attend the second day of the FOSDEM conference. We'll need help manning the booth and attending talks to spread the word about XMPP. Also expect many interesting "hallway" discussions and continued hacking in the background.

### Sunday, February 8: Birthday Dinner{#dinner}

The XSF will hold its bi-annual dinner this year in a small, authentic Belgian restaurant just outside of Brussels. It's the 10th Birthday of Jabber/XMPP technologies this year so help us celebrate! The restaurant easily reachable from the ULB and the city centre. If you aren't attending FOSDEM on Sunday, we can give you easy directions from anywhere in Brussels. This year's dinner is a bit different, as it's not paid by the XSF but by several sponsors. The event will be held at [Auberge Bretonne](http://www.aubergebretonne.be/) starting at 19:00. If you would like to participate in the dinner, please send a mail to the summit mailinglist or ping [Florian Jensen](xmpp:admin@im.flosoft.biz).

Depending on the amount of sponsorships / donations we receive, the price will vary. It shouldn't be more than 25€ per person.

Contact Florian if you would like to participate or donate!

### Monday, February 9: XMPP Summit{#monday}

The official "XMPP Summit" itself: Intensive discussions among core XMPP developers to solve pressing problems in the XMPP protocol stack. The main topics will probably be mobile optimizations, file transfer, and end-to-end encryption as [recently prioritized](http://logs.jabber.org/council@conference.jabber.org/2008-12-03.html#14:54:38) by the [XMPP Council](/about/xmpp-standards-foundation).

The Summit is not intended for people who are just interested in learning about XMPP (see the Saturday schedule), but instead for active technical contributors in the XMPP community. If you would like to participate, please say so on the [summit@xmpp.org](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/summit) mailing list or contact [Peter Saint-Andre](https://stpeter.im/?page_id=1968).
