In just 34 days the first full test run of ubiquitous security on the XMPP network will be attempted by many service operators. Like the IPv6 test days, on the 4th January XMPP server operators are turning on TLS encryption for s2s and c2s connections and testing to see what doesn’t work and what needs more work. The participants of this effort would like you to join others in the XMPP community and help secure users private communications.[Read More]

The third XMPP/Realtime UK Meetup will be happening on the 2nd of December, 2013.

The details can be found at the meetup’s lanyrd page or through the meetup page

The guest speaker will be Joachim Lindborg and Lloyd Watkinabout the XMPP extensions he and Peter Waher have been working on.

A summary of the event can be found at iea.sust.se

On the 21rst November we will meet and use Python to build on raspberry developer kits and connect things through the XMPP IoT extensions.

At the meetup event we will have sensors and actuators connected to raspberries and create interoperable interchange of data with the help of XMPP.

Interested in how XMPP could be used in the Internet of Things arena contact the organizer Joachim Lindborg XSF or Peter Waher XSF

Simon posted on the jdev mailing list a great reminder about the upcoming test day quoted below: “We owe it to our user’s to provide secure communications” - St Peter. To achieve ubiquitous encryption between clients and servers on XMPP, we’re doing a phased approach similar to the ipv6 test days. 4th January is the first test day of full XMPP encryption. The aim - see what breaks when all XMPP sites enable secure communication.[Read More]

Joachim is in the US (San Francisco specifically) and would love to get together with anyone from the XMPP and/or IoT community!

His original goal was to attend the Doing IoT with XMPP meetup. Either way you should poke him on the members@ mailing list to at least find a pub and raise a pint or three!

Thanks Joachim!

The XSF will hold a developer hackfest on July 27, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. This is the Saturday before IETF 87.

Details are available at http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Berlin_Hackfest.

Arc, Lance and Ralph are all at PyCon 2013 and today they were showing off XMPP and Python at one of the “poster sessions”. Nicely done!

The first day of the tenth XMPP Summit to be held by the XMPP Standards Foundation is starting! The first event is the Hackfest where the XMPP devs and geeks will swarm the gracious Cisco meeting rooms.

Please do visit the XMPP Summit wiki page for a detailed breakdown of the schedule as space may be tight today.

With the 10th XMPP Summit starting at the end of the week, it’s time to announce the Developer’s Challenge! Similar to last year’s one, this year we’re again targeting mobile devices. Nokia has been generous and given us a Nokia N8 to give away, as well as demo phones for the 4 days, equipped with the full power of the Internet thanks to MobileVikings. We’ve set up a Wiki page with all the information on the Dev Challenge here.[Read More]
