The Jabber address letmein@luv.asn.au will be monitored by multiple committee members. If you have problems finding a meeting or getting in then you can contact that address. An advantage of using Jabber over the mobile phone is that multiple people can use it and that the Jabber "status" can convey useful information. A Jabber status of "sorry the guy with the key missed his bus, will start the meeting 1 hour late" would be better than just wondering what's happening. Please only use that address for problems getting to meetings. The Jabber address president@luv.asn.au will be used for official presidential duties. Please don't use it for anything for which email will do. Currently we are having problems finding speakers for future meetings. If you find someone who's capable of giving a good lecture and interested in doing so then please Jabber the president if an immediate contact will help lock it in. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xabber.android https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=xabber I use Xabber on my phone to read Jabber messages, Xabber is in the Play Store and the F-Droid free repository. F-Droid allows you to download the source and install any version you like. There are many free Jabber servers out there, a Google search will turn up lists of them. It's easy to run Prosody (at the bottom of this message is a quick summary of config file changes necessary). Also we can offer @luv.asn.au accounts to LUV members, but note that account names like "root" will not be provided and accounts will be cancelled for misuse. To setup Prosody first put your address in admins section in /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua: admins = { "sysadmin@example.com" } Get a certificate with Letsencrypt and set it like the following: ssl = { key = "/etc/letsencrypt/live/www.example.com/privkey.pem"; certificate = "/etc/letsencrypt/live/www.example.com/fullchain.pem"; } Set a VirtualHost then restart the server: VirtualHost "example.com" Add DNS entries like the following: _xmpp-server._tcp IN SRV 0 5 5269 jabber.example.com. _xmpp-client._tcp IN SRV 0 5 5222 jabber.example.com. Add accounts with "prosodyctl adduser USER@example.com" -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
