Apologies for the abrupt nature of this, but it’s working once again.

You can now register new accounts (using “Your Account” in the Links on the right) on the jabber.org.uk domain. You cannot, as yet, register in-band (within your Jabber client) – though this will be enabled soon.

Please remember as per the AUP accounts not used for six months may well be deleted.

You can use your client to register, or if your client does not allow this you can use the new web based registration form The jabber.org.uk domain will be closed for registrations for the time being, but migration of your existing account will remain open.

To be able to log in you must first migrate your existing jabber.org.uk account. This process doesn’t take too long, but we will require an email address. Please read the notes carefully. I will be on the jabber conference room tonight for a while in case of any problems.

Registrations are closed on jabber.org.uk for the time being.

All accounts will have to be migrated to the new system, but it should be a more reliable method for storing your login details and your rosters.

]]> http://www.jabber.org.uk/2008/02/12/migration-to-new-software-thursday/feed/ 0 UPDATED – Migration to new software http://www.jabber.org.uk/2007/12/14/migration/ http://www.jabber.org.uk/2007/12/14/migration/#comments Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:22:29 +0000 al http://www.jabber.org.uk/2007/12/14/migration/ UPDATE: This is likely to happen mid week next week (around 23rd).

We have been testing the new server software (ejabberd) as well as updated transports (AIM/ICQ/Yahoo/MSN) for a while now and have worked out the process for migrating your accounts to the new software.

This migration is probably going to happen between Christmas and New Year.

The migration process will go like this:

  • You will go to the migration page and log in with your username & password.
  • You will have to agree to the new AUP.
  • You will have to enter in an email address. This address will be required as an administrator has to convert your account. You can edit/remove this address later and it will not be publically accessable.
  • The administrator will convert your account and you will be emailed
  • You can log in and re-register with transports if required.

New account registrations will be disabled for six months to give plenty of time for you to migrate accounts. We also have a new domain (xmpp.org.uk) so that new users can be registered there.

More after the break

So what is it, and what is it for?

The dev.jabber.org.uk service has been set up to test new software, updated gateways as well as the software to migrate your settings/roster to work with these. We need some help to test this migration process and to make sure the updated software is stable (or at least more stable than the software we are using).

Notes (technical and otherwise):

  • This is using different Jabber software (ejabberd).
  • This has updated gateways to MSN, ICQ, AIM & Yahoo.
  • We have switched to using an SQL server back end which should sort out some of the heavy load problems, as well as allow for a better backup system.
  • You can import your settings and roster from your jabber.org.uk account.
  • This is a testing server and users are needed to test the migration process as much as the stability and reliability of the updates software.
  • There is a new AUP which you’ll have to agree with.

More instructions are on the dev.jabber.org.uk website.
