[OpenSER-Devel] SIMPLE-XMPP Developer Workshop 2008

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

for those interested in SIP/SIMPLE - XMPP(Jabber/GTalk) 
interoperability, there is going to be a workshop in Paris for 
developers in the first week of September.

Agenda for openser is to identify a reliable xmpp library that follows 
latest XMPP specs and offers secure communication (TLS) which can be 
used to update and enhance the simple-xmpp gateway implementation. In 
addition, it is a good opportunity to deploy and test it against other 
implementations. If you have extra ideas for openser sip-xmpp, please 
write me or, better, join the event and help get it done.

Detailed description of the event follows.

Best regards,
Daniel


SIMPLE-XMPP Developer Workshop 2008

SIP/SIMPLE and XMPP share a lot of concepts but they are different in 
many aspects. Being nowadays the leading open protocols for voice, 
video, instant messaging and presence, the interconnection between them 
creates an unified communication environment for users in both sides. 
The workshop aims to bring together people with large expertise in both 
protocols, interested in development, testing and deployment of 
SIP/SIMPLE-XMPP solutions. With a permanent focus on innovation, the 
participants cover open source projects to private enterprises. You can 
join the event for free.
