PR for the February 2025 XMPP Newsletter.

• This "Draft" still needs a paragraph describing the activities that took place at the ### XMPP at FOSDEM 2025
• Pictures for ### XMPP at FOSDEM 2025 have already been added
• The "date:" field has already been set to 2025-03-15
• The https://xmpp.org/ prefix has been removed from all the links, leaving only the relative paths
• The link to the Twitter account has been removed as well

Sorry for the delay in the creation of the present PR.
