    XMPP DevCon day 2

    Quick summary of the second and last day of the XMPP DevCon.

    On this second day, participants have talked about file transfer. There is some incompatible different needs (streaming vs offline/MUC, web clients constraints, NAT…), so we’ve finally focused on a negotiation protocol that would allow clients to choose the right method. The next discussion was about server side messages archiving. IMAP was considered as an option, but XEP-0136 seems almost fine. We’ve finally addressed some miscellaneous topics like SSO/OAuth (how to share XMPP authentication with web applications) and distributed MUC (so that people can consider replacing IRC with MUC) which led us to consider SRV records for XMPP services.

    XMPP DevCon day 1

    Quick report of the first day of the XMPP DevCon in Bruxelles.

    Today was the first of the two days XMPP DevCon at the Atlas hotel in Bruxelles, Belgium. Lots of interesting people were here and we even ran out of chairs in the room, which may be a sign of the growing interest in XMPP…

    So far, we’ve talked about the abuses that a public XMPP server may face (botnets, spam, DoS…) and how we can prevent them (providing operators contact information, servers reputation, shared black lists…). XMPP on mobile devices was also a hot subject, with proposed solutions to limit CPU and traffic usage (traffic filtering based on profiles, fast reconnect, cached rosters…). Finally, we had some vast discussions on synchronizations (whiteboarding, shared editing…), with many different approaches. Now it’s beer time before day 2…

    Resources for ejabberd modules developers

    We have made available some resources useful to ejabberd modules developers.

    We have written a documentation on modules development, covering core modules API, events/hooks mechanism, IQ handling and route table mechanisms. This documentation is available on our wiki and will be completed progressively. Don’t hesitate to discuss about it directly on the associated Talk pages. You can also correct or update the documentation pages if you have some knowledge to do so.

    We have also set up a forum for discussing issues related to ejabberd modules.

    And we have a subversion repository dedicated to ejabberd modules, so, if you have developed some interesting modules, just ask us for commit rights. This way, your modules code will be reviewed and maintained by the community.
