[DotGNU]Would you like any Jabber with your dotGNU?

[Adam Theo]

Hello, everyone. You may remember me from a few months ago, as the guy
who kept talking about Jabber [http://www.jabber.org] :-)

I presented a few ways that dotGNU could use Jabber to solve it's XML
routing and basic backbone problems, while being able to focus on VM,
APIs, and the other 'top-layer' projects. But I got too busy and
involved with other things, so I had to leave.

Well, I have been contacted by Myrddian, and he's asked me to resume
explaining Jabber and how it can mostly cover the first few miles of
dotGNU's journey.

I spoke to all of the members of the Jabber Foundation
[http://foundation.jabber.org] yesterday in the public conference, and
set up a meeting for Jabber developers to meet and discuss how we can
help you all here. It is not closed to just us, by any means. Everyone
is welcome to participate. Join, as questions, answer questions, help us
understand and show us what you need. We'd love to learn and help.

The meeting will be held in a Jabber conference room, at:
address@hidden at 2:00pm ET (18:00 GMT?) today, Thursday.

So you will need a Jabber client and account to participate. Don't
worry, it's free and most likely you can get a free software client for
your platform: http://jabbercentral.org/clients/

Once you have downloaded and installed a client, it will take you
through the steps of signing up for an account at the Jabber server of
your choice: http://www.jabberview.com/ . If you want, you can use my
public server, 'theoretic.com'. It is fast and stable.

No matter what you decide to do about this meeting, I strongly suggest
checking out Jabber. Feel free to contact me on Jabber:
address@hidden and ask me about it. I love to help out people
new to Jabber :-) If you want to chat with other people new to Jabber
tomorrow or anytime, you can meet in a Jabber conference room I've set
up on my server: address@hidden . I will be there
through-out the day, helping anyone there.

Hope this can help everyone here!  :-)
