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
-
Simon
Cisco's Jabber product range.
-
Kev
Simon: I don't think that's true.
-
Kev
Cisco's Jabber isn't XMPP, AFAIK
-
fippo
nah, "cisco jabber" is the old tandberg stuff

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!

Laura
Thanks! Will start my list now
