And if you are a Debian Developer, there is also already a community doing the hosting for you. In this talk I'll give an overview of what XMPP is, why it is a suitable solution to the IM needs of today, and how it's better than some alternatives, and then provide a few pointers on what to do to join it, either by self/community hosting themselves or by joining an existing server, including a short update on Debian's own instance.
