   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 XOs/Sugar instances to connect and collaborate remotely. Imagine that a school in Peru and a school in Canada wanted to collaborate via their XOs. 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 community comments
jabber.laptop.org all Jabber server for OLPC
dc.olpc.obscure.org Washington, DC area (any) OLPC D.C. Jabber Server (now back up after some downtime)
jabber-hispano.org Hispana Servidor jabber de la Comunidad Hispana
jabber.buddycloud.com Open to all Jabber server including location based API (http://blog.buddycloud.com/node/1)
jabber.xo-quebec.org Montreal, Qc (any) Québec Area Jabber Server(fr)

Connecting to a community jabber server

Latest version (8.2)

Use the graphical Control Panel to set the Mesh (aka Jabber) server to one from the server name column in the table above.

Older versions (Pre-8.2)

1. Open Terminal

2. Type the following command: 

sugar-control-panel -s jabber jabber.laptop.org

replace jabber.laptop.org with the jabber server you with to use

3. Restart Sugar (warning: first close your activities to save them!) by pressing ctrl+alt+erase

4. Go to the neighborhood view and have fun!

Other servers

These servers were down as of last check (2008-11-08).
