[jdev] buddycloud update (and code)

[Simon Tennant (buddycloud)]

Hi jdev-ers,

buddycloud is coming along nicely and soon we'll have something that looks a little like https://beta.buddycloud.org/streams.html. (Code is at github.com/buddycloud)

We've taken the approach of using XMPP's native federation to build, what we think is the *right* way to create federated social networking. Now we need your help to test.

It's very much an alpha release, warts and all so you should probably be ok running your own XMPP server and comfortable throwing up a BOSH gateway.

If you are brave, and have about an hour spare,  please have a look at our install instructions (https://buddycloud.org/wiki/Install) and send us some feedback.

Our approach is that buddycloud can be easily added to existing XMPP installations and helps connect your userbase with a larger bc userbase. With your feedback we can make sure we're on the right track.

Thanks to everyone who has already setup a buddycloud node and see you all at at FOSDEM.

S.

PS: should you have more questions, we also have a daily office-hours MUC session at 12:30 UTC in see...@channels.buddycloud.com.
