It looks like I’ve finally got 30 minutes to write this post. So here goes.
Just about a week ago, the XSF held yet another successful XMPP Summit in Brussels in conjunction with FOSDEM’10.
As I had to miss the Hackfest on Friday, let’s start with the important things: The FOSDEM Beer Event.
It was nice to see, [...]

The XMPP userbase just took a big leap forward! Today 400 million users got their XMPP accounts!
Facebook enabled their XMPP support today. And unlike AIM, I think it’s here to stay!
How do I log in?
Well, just use your Facebook Username and Password, and use the server chat.facebook.com.
So, what does it do?
Well, so far as I [...]

Evening.
After having had a very productive Sunday, I seem not to be able to stop doing stuff
So I started playing with chat.facebook.com (Facebook’s XMPP Server).
Having read P1’s article that Facebook would be using Ejabberd made me curious, as I don’t believe Ejabberd would scale anywhere near the needs of Facebook.
So I investigated the [...]

So, I’ve been back from Brussels nearly a month now, and I have finally found a few spare minutes to write this post.
For me, the trip to Brussels consisted of 3 great parts. The Actual FOSDEM, the XMPP Summit and last but not least: The Social Events all around it.
FOSDEM: A place where people talk [...]

Evening guys (no girl is reading this blog anyway),
I thought I might just share my idea of Jabber.me here. As with all of my projects, the aim is to conquer the world (I am used to failure by now) and to offer the Jabber Community a fully equipped Jabber server. So let’s start off with [...]

You probably remember the Jabber World Map by Ralph Meijer. The problem there was, crowded areas were difficult to decode.
During my morning tour of Websites and RSS feeds, I have found a post on Jabberforum.org by Sublime Porte about a new Jabber World Map. The post can be found here.
This Map is based on Google [...]

It’s official. Jabberforum.org has replaced the old forums on Jabber.org. Besides running a real forum software, it has a lot of nice features.
Social Groups: Social groups are communities on the forum, where members can post some pictures and post messages. A bit like Jaiku Channels, just with pictures and without SMS.
Thats fun, but there’s more!
The [...]

First off, if you have a good 3G data plan with unlimited everything, or don’t care about paying your precious €€€s to mobile service providers, you can skip this article altogether
The last few weeks I’ve been traveling quite a lot, and didn’t always have Open WiFi near me. So I needed to use [...]

I started using Jabber in 2004. Since then, I’m sorry to say, not much has happened.
Jabber still more or less only supports text messaging, file transfer works quite bad, compared to other IM Networks, and Jingle isn’t implement anywhere. This might be exagerated a bit, as there are some attempts for Jingle implementation, and file [...]
