MartinDengler: Please review: XO's (build 650) use legacy port 5223 not 5222, which you used. You are missing Jabbers set for XO's only.
THIS UP LIST IS INCOMPLETE !

   Jabber: | Community Jabber Servers | Run a Jabber Server | Category:Jabber

What is a Jabber Server

A (specially configured) jabber server is used to allow multiple XO's to connect and collaborate remotely. Imagine that a school in Peru and a school in Canada wanted to collaborate on XO's. The mesh network doesn't stretch that far, but the two schools could use a Jabber server to communicate.

Currently, jabber servers can handle up to about 150 users due to scalability issues. So it makes more sense for there to be several community run servers, for specific or general purposes. The existing community servers are organized - by geographic region, by special interest, kids or parents or whatever their users like.

To set up your own community or private server, see: Run your own jabber server.


Community Server Directory

If you want to publicize your server, please list it below. In "community", specify who should use this server - be as specific as possible.


Community Servers
server name status community comments
dc.olpc.obscure.org up Washington, DC area (any) OLPC D.C. Jabber Server
jabber.xo-quebec.org up Montreal, Qc (any) Québec Area Jabber Server(fr)
jabber.buddycloud.com up Open to all Jabber server including location based API (http://blog.buddycloud.com/node/1)
xo1share.org up G1G1 (any) Focus: Great Lakes Region xo1@scishare.com (Location: Grand Blanc, Michigan) Status: http://xoshare.org/mi


Connecting to a community jabber server

Open Terminal, then type the following commands : 

sugar-control-panel -s jabber jabber.server.url

replace jabber.server.url with the jabber server you with to use

then restart Sugar (warning: first close your activities to save them!) by pressing ctrl+alt+erase - then go to the neighborhood view and have fun!

These servers were down as of last check (2008-09-01).
