Thread: Re: IM
Hi, I'm unhappy about our Jabber server. This is what Bruce just told me about it: > Frankly I think the whole idea of running our own jabber server is crazy > and has caused all sorts of confusion. In my opinion, it has been a very useful tool, but there are some implementation restrictions that make it much less useful than it could be. Bruce continues: > I have been promised an account > on that server many times but it never happened. For me the jabber > server has turned into a secret clubhouse, which isn't very effective > for moving the community forward. Do you guys look at girely magazines > in there or what? :-) You have to admit that this "secret clubhouse" thing is there all right. Who gets an account, and how it is named, is a complete mistery. I see two accounts that have never connected at all: one is named "brucemomjian" and the other is "petereisentraut". Does anybody think that they are inactive members of the community? I don't. But I also have no clue why would anyone choose such an username. I know I would be very annoyed if somebody offered me an account named "alvaroherrera". Bruce closes with > As far as I know I don't have an account, and if I do I have no idea > what my password is. So there's another problem here: somebody created accounts, but the person who was supposed to use it has no clue about it. This all started because Bruce wasn't able to talk to me on IM. I said "hey, add my jabber.postgresql.org account to your momjian.us account and we should connect." But it didn't work at all. Bruce gets a weird XMPP 404 error; apparently the Jabber server is just not able to talk to outside jabber servers. I know it was capable of doing so some days ago -- I tested it myself. Now it's messed up again. I really hate to have to waste time complaining about something that someone else wasted time to set up. But if we're gonna offer a service, let's provide said service. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.advogato.org/person/alvherre "The eagle never lost so much time, as when he submitted to learn of the crow."

Yeah, the same thing happened to me a while back. I re-installed the OS on may laptop and for a few weeks was unable to login. It was only when I managed to chat with JD on the phone that we realised my username was davepage instead of dpage which I use pretty much everywhere else :-( > This all started because Bruce wasn't able to talk to me on IM.

That's not to say we don't support the idea of having one - just that the guys there (obviously not you) set it up and maintain it, whilst none of the rest of us know anything about it. It is documented on PMT, but unfortunately not in a particularly useful way (it basically says - jabber(.postgresql.org) is a jabber server!!). I'm happy for us to take a more active role managing it, but we could use some details on how it all works on PMT. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

I know I have this account, but I did not actually request it and I never bothered to use it because I have enough other IM accounts (including jabber) that are relatively public knowledge and that PostgreSQL folks are welcome to use. In my experience, there are plenty of free Jabber services available. I don't see an advantage in running our own, considering the management overhead.

Just before sending the email I was talking to Devrim about it, and he said he doesn't want to be involved in that server at all. So what this leaves us with is that only Joshua Drake is in charge of the server. We (the community) have long seen this kind of situation as inacceptable, where a single person is in charge of services. Now it's frowned upon that only Marc has access to our Majordomo or DNS, for example (even if he chooses to ignore the raised eyebrows). I know Joshua is not a control freak :-) so I guess the current situation is more the result of an unfortunate sequence of events than anything else. > It is documented on PMT, but unfortunately not in a particularly > useful way (it basically says - jabber(.postgresql.org) is a jabber > server!!).

As a suggestion, it can easily be made into a more community thing if we used Openfire. It's got a nice web-UI and pgsql-www people could be made into admins who can log into said UI and more easily manage it. It's also got a nice built in web based jabber client (Spark) which could be handy. It also (optionally) uses PgSQL as a backend for buddy list storage and the like. Gavin

I think people are having a tendency to forget history here. The jabber service is something that I set up for people. It was not a .Org service. I asked for a .Org name but it was understood at the time that this was pretty much a JD bag. In fact at the time, there were many that didn't even see the point in the service. The service has grown (which I am happy about) and it is beginning to become more of a central item for the community. This is why for example we have been testing the ability for the service to talk to other jabber servers (which seems to work but muc is broke). It is also why I reaffirmed the policy with sysadmins recently. The policy is this: Contributors may have an account if they please. The system is being configured to allow outbound connections. If there are people that would like to help manage the jabber service, that's cool. Let's keep it real. Joshua D. Drake

The facts are the facts. That is the way the service was provisioned, that is the way it has been since its inception. For the record (again): 1. We use OpenFire, formerly Wildfire 2. Jabber has been configured to allow external connections. This was tested and seemed to work. I note now that it does not for some reason (I will check it) but the proper thing to do would have been to open a ticket on PMT. 3. Bruce has *not* requested an account many times. He has requested an account, yes which is why he has one. Did I perhaps forget to send him his credentials, maybe. Should Bruce have just pinged or called (yes, he has my phone number) me and say, "Hey JD WTH?". Yes. Which the problem would have been resolved a lot quicker than the lovely stateless communication we are all burning time on. 4. Any contributor can have an account. 5. If people want to help manage the jabber service, please contact me directly. My preference is that it would be someone who is already a .Org sysadmin. I repeat, keep it real. Joshua D.

With openfire an account only needs to be flagged as an admin account and one can login to the web UI and admin the service. Access to the box really isn't a pre-requisite from that perspective.

It doesn't happen to me either. What does happen, is that if I'm for some reason kicked off the network itself (say the WWAN drops or something like that), I get kicked off for 20 mins or so (error saying something about "conflict"). But as long as my own local network connection is stable, I don't get kicked off. //Magnus

Yes, conflict mean you are logged onto the network already (or at least it
thinks you are). Now I *think* there is a way to configure the server to boot
off existing connections when you attempt to login again rather than refuse
the new attempt; not sure of that, but it might be worth looking into.
