### Monday, February 7: XMPP Summit
The official "XMPP Summit" itself: Intensive discussions among core XMPP developers to solve pressing problems in the XMPP protocol stack.

This year, Monday afternoon (13:00-16:30) was dedicated to an interim meeting of the IETF's [XMPP Working Group](http://tools.ietf.org/wg/xmpp/). The focus was on internationalization issues. The IETF's "Note Well" rules applied to the afternoon session -- see [http://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html](http://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html) for details.
