XOchat.org community server was one of the first public community servers available. There were regularly 80 users online.

To setup your XO, open the terminal activity and type:

  % sugar-control-panel -s jabber xochat.org

Restart Sugar/X (ctrl-alt-erase) and you will connect to the jabber server.

Regional Chat servers

Sometimes the XO will slow down if there are too many users connected to the same server. We have set up xo chat to have various regional servers.

To add a regional server in your area, send a wikimail to Harper Reed

Mixing OLPC and non-OLPC clients

Sometimes it can be very useful to mix OLPC and non OLPC xmpp clients. An easy way to do so is register with any XMPP client and then sent the following IQ:

 <iq type="set" id="18" from='dirkx@xochat.org'>
     <pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub">
       <publish node="http://laptop.org/xmpp/buddy-properties">
         <item>
           <properties xmlns="http://laptop.org/xmpp/buddy-properties">
             <property type="str" name="ip4-address">X.Y.Z.Z</property>
               <property type="bytes" name="key">AAAAB3Nz....WiHx5Rqfg=</property>
                <property type="str" name="color">#00bF00,#a0000</property>
           </properties>
         </item>
       </publish>
     </pubsub>
 </iq>

This lets Sugar pick you up.
