Server Migration Complete!- May 22, 2008 Finally we can report that the jabber.org IM service has been successfully migrated to a new machine! More details are here.http://www.jabber.org/node/458 Jabber Web Forum- May 8, 2008 A new website has started just for discussion about JabberXMPP technologies: JabberForum.org. If you prefer web forums to chatrooms and email discussion lists, JabberForum.org is for you! We have turned off the forums at www.jabber.org, so please use JabberForum.org instead from now on. Thanks!http://www.jabber.org/node/454 Website Registration Closed- May 8, 2008 To reduce confusion, we have closed account registration at the jabber.org website. Many people thought that website registration also created an account at the jabber.org IM service, which is not true. We may enable website registration again, but only after we connect the two account databases. If you need a website account (e.g., to comment on stories or add software listings), please ask one of the website admins, who will be happy to help you.http://www.jabber.org/node/453 Service Update- May 8, 2008 As you might have guessed, the machine (athena) on which the jabber.org IM service runs is having hardware issues. In fact it is currently being held together with duct tape and string. :) Thankfully, HP has donated a powerful new machine (hermes) for this service. Now we just need to get hermes up and running, install the Debian operating system and the ejabberd IM software, move the jabber.org account data over, and update DNS pointers. That will happen over the next 24 to 48 hours. There may.http://www.jabber.org/node/451 Another IM Service Outage- May 8, 2008 We are currently experiencing hardware problems at the jabber.org IM service, so it is offline. We are preparing a new machine but we are not yet sure when it will be ready. We will report back as soon as possible regarding the server status. We are extremely sorry about the repeated outages.http://www.jabber.org/node/449 IM service outage- May 1, 2008 We attempted to restart the jabber.org IM service this evening after installing some patches, but the service is not restarting. It should be restarted in a few hours.http://www.jabber.org/node/446 |
