We’re planning on migrating the community back-end for Igniterealtime.org from Jive Forums to Clearspace on Wednesday. I’m pretty excited about the change, but it will require a couple of hours of downtime on the site. I’ll post a more specific outage estimate in the forums as Wednesday approaches. If you’re interested in getting a preview […]
OSCON 2007 is wrapping up and it was a great conference. Yesterday I gave a talk about Jingle, an extension to XMPP (Jabber) that’s primarily used for VoIP. The slides are available on Slideshare (including a link to download the Powerpoint).
At the beginning of the week, we participated in the XMPP Devcon event. Peter provided […]
We’re making progress on the migration of the community from forums to Clearspace X. A beta version of the Ignite site using the new platform is available at beta.igniterealtime.org. Clearspace carries forward the discussion functionality, while also giving us blogging and wiki document features. The beta site is using a copy of the forums data […]
We (Jive Software) launched Clearspace X just about one month ago, our external community software product that combines discussions, wiki documents and blogging. [As an aside, we provide free Clearspace X licenses to Open Source projects.] So, why aren’t we using it here on igniterealtime.org yet? There’s lots of good excuses, but we’ve been hard […]
You may remember me asking for everyone’s help a few months back to vote for Openfire. We’re entered in the Enterprise Open Source Reader’s Choice Award in the “Best Open Source Product” category. The deadline for voting is May 31, which is just one week away. If you haven’t already voted, please visit the site […]
I don’t usually get annoyed by other blog entries in the XMPP blogosphere, but this one got my goat a bit: the claim that ejabberd is the most popular XMPP server (according to ohloh). Not only that, but their previous blog entry crowed about passing the 120,000 download mark. So, I thought it was time […]
Late last week we (Jive Software) released version 1.1 of Clearspace, our commercial community and team collaboration product which includes blogging, discussions and wiki documents. As an aside, we offer free Clearspace licenses to Open Source projects and it’s also free for teams of up to five people.
This release builds on the Openfire integration that […]
I’ve recently run into a number of innovative sites and products that use Openfire.
IMified provides tools like task management, reminders and todo’s through IM bots on AIM, MSN, and XMPP/GTalk. They’ve just released an API that will make it easy to write bots that work across all major IM networks. Openfire powers their XMPP back-end.

The engineering team at Jive Software is growing fast (btw, we’re hiring!). I thought it might be interesting to talk about some of the engineering process changes we’re making to cope with that growth, especially since they directly affect product releases. First, a bit of history. We’ve always had a fairly agile development process — […]
Earlier today, LG (IT2000) passed Gato to become the top point earner in the ignite community forums. It’s the first time ever that an outside community member has jumped ahead of Jive Software engineers, which is a pretty impressive feat. With a current score of 3475 and 5 to 10 points per question answer, that’s […]
