Jabber (XMPP) JogAmp Channel (Deprecated)
- url: conference.jabber.org
- room: jogamp
Note: We've moved to Freenode IRC, the Jabber channel should be considered deprecated...
All you have to do is to create an account on e.g. http://www.jabber.org, http://jabbear.com, .. or take your existing xmpp account and join our channel with the client of your choice. Alternatively you could also use a so called "transport server" to join even from a different IM protocol.
New to XMPP?
No Client?
- try a web based client like jappix
