Next Meeting: 9 January 2001
Location: Hall-Kinion -- DTC
Time: 7:15 pm
Main Topic: Jabber: Getting the Message (7:15 pm)
Peter Saint-Andre:
What is Jabber? Some see it as an open-source replacement for IM
services like ICQ and AIM. However, while Jabber fills that role and
fills it pretty well, Jabber is about much more than Internet chat.
Fundamentally, it's an XML-based system and protocol for real-time
communications. With the spread of Linux into the embedded space, Jabber
has the potential to act as a router of structured information between
any two devices or applications that can connect to the Internet.
In this session we'll explore where Jabber came from, where it is today,
where it's going, and the impact it might have in the Linux and
open-source communities.
