Presence and IntComm WG

["Callahan, Tim" <>]

All,

Please join us for our bi-weekly call today.  We will discuss the challenges and possible solutions in developing our trusted server connections.  I would like to discuss options including how to fix Openfire cert issues vs. the value in migrating to another server that is already “fixed” (if they exist).  If possible (i.e., depending on who can attend), I’d like to discuss the challenges of connecting to Google Talk securely.

We’ll also review and update our existing to-do tasks with a focus on the Fall MM.

Perhaps this has come up before, but I found a listserv for for .edu IM admins.  Discussions include some of the same challenges that we’re currently trying to solve.

I’ve added a few things to the Wiki this week:

Under the cookbook, I’ve added “Useful Links”

https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/Useful+links

and a page for compatible Jabber/XMPP deployments (it’s a start, but we need help populating it)

https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/XMPP+Jabber+deployments

 

In our private group section, I’ve added “Fringe Benefits of using Jabber XMPP”

https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/Fringe+Benefits+of+using+Jabber+XMPP

This is intended to show useful plug-ins or apps that utilize Jabber/XMPP, especially if they work using our configuration.  There’s also a section for interesting XMPP extensions (perhaps for our future work?)

Talk to you soon,

-Tim

 

** In addition to the audio call, there is a chatroom.
