[OLPC-Chicago] OLPC-Chicago Digest, Vol 8, Issue 20

[Harper Reed]

So far we have about 90 people who have logged into the Jabber server
with their XO machines. What the jabber server allows you to do is
collaborate with other users on activities. It also takes care of
presence and letting others know who is connected as well. It does not
help with meshing (from a wireless stand point).

I will boot up my XO and jump on. There is currently 1 user on (2 as
soon as i get on), but hopefully there will be more shortly. To view
who is on - look at the community tab (the same view as the wifi view)
and look for the various XO icons. These are people who are on the
jabber server.

Thanks,
Harper
