Working on the website text, who can help by giving me some examples of who is currently using XMPP? Ideally, I want recognisable users - this is a little snapshot on the homepage so it's marketing. Who uses XMPP that people will recognise?
Simon
Facebook, Google GTalk (we'll ignore hangouts for the moment), WhatsApp.
Tobias
and Android's Push service, even if it's just for the server interface
Zash
and Apples
Simon
true. Didn't P1 do something for Major League Baseball too.
fippo
probably worth poking linuxwolf or hildjj if webex uses it
The Cisco system I'm using at $DayJob let's me use Pidgin to access the system.
Kev
They sell a gateway to XMPP, I think.
Simon
Microsoft Lync?
Kev
At least, that was the impression I got from their webpage. I don't have inside information here.
Simon
since they switched from SIP to XMPP.
Kev
Sure? I thought Lync was through a gateway as well.
fippo
oh right, microsoft lync also includes an xmpp gateway (but is based on sth like sip internally)
Simon
Fippo - I think it's all integrated now - no more gateways needed - just a big mush of SIP and XMPP tangled up.
fippo
simon: well, the gateway is no longer a separate entity/role. but it's still doing sip<->xmpp i think
Simon
So pleased I don't have to deal with the hassle of buying "Client Access Licenses" to use prosody (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/7a959a90-b999-4e75-b217-fd412184525f/lync-2013-xmpp)
fippo
mattj: consider the business potential!!!
Kev
To be fair, I don't know of any XMPP server that uses CAL.
fippo
concurrent users is much easier to implement ;-)
Simon
Laura: might be worth mentioning Isode's use of XMPP for military messaging too. That way we have a range of customer, business and govt + millitary uses of XMPP covered.
Simon
fippo - but not nearly as appealing for sales team. Imagine all the licenses you can sell to people who will never login!
