Jabber.org adopts ejabberd, supported by Process-one

What is Jabber.org ?

Jabber is an instant messaging standard, defined by the Jabber Software Foundation (JSF) and standardized as eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Jabber.org is both the reference website regarding Jabber, its extensions and its implementation and one of the most visible Jabber-based public instant messaging server.
Jabber.org is probably the most famous Jabber server as it was historically the first in operation.

In February, Jabber.org has upgraded to ejabberd. Switching to this software is an important decision for the Jabber.org admin team. The Jabber.org server currently has more than 185 000 registered users and regularly gathers over 10 000 simultaneous users. It also has nearly 2 000 connections to other jabber servers.
For ejabberd, this decision is a recognition of ejabberd's scalability, robustness and broad feature sets. As a result of this migration, the Process-one and Jabber.org teams will collaborate to improve the ejabberd software.
This fact will boost ejabberd's development speed and will accelerate adoption for large scale Jabber deployments.

About Jabber, XMPP, and the Jabber Software Foundation

The Jabber Software Foundation (JSF) is a non-profit organization that builds open application protocols on top of the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). Widely considered the lingua franca of instant messaging, XMPP is an Internet standard for presence, real-time messaging, and streaming XML that grew out of the popular Jabber open-source technologies first released in 1999. With approval of XMPP by the IETF in 2004, the JSF continues to develop XMPP extensions that meet the needs of its many stakeholders: open-source and commercial developers (including Apple, HP, Oracle, and Sun), organizations large and small (including the U.S. defense establishment and most Wall Street investment banks), Internet and mobile service providers (including Google and Orange), and over 20 million end users worldwide.
