You don't. This server is used only to host the chatrooms. You need to
create an account on one of the public XMPP services to get on the
network, then join the chatrooms at jabber.ietf.org from your "home"
account. It's relatively easy to create an IM account at one of the
public services such as jabber.org (of which I am an admin), Google
Talk, Live Journal Talk, etc.
So I have a gtalk/ gmail account as you can see from my email. I have
been using gtalk as a testbed
Be aware that the Google Talk has some differences from the usual XMPP
deployments. In particular, it blocks communication with any entity that
is not in your contact list.
and my client sends xmpp messages to
"buddies" on my "buddy list" (or JIDs on my roster?)
Same thing.
Now I wish to send messages to a room like this one for example :
http://jabber.ietf.org/logs/sip/2007-12-05.html
I have invited sip(_at_)jabber(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org and it shows up on my
list as
"invited" but nothing else.
Right, because sip(_at_)jabber(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org is not the kind of entity
that will
acknowledge your presence subscription request (it's a chatroom, not a
"normal" IM client/account).
This is from my gtalk interface. Is there something that I am doing
wrong? I should expect to join this chatroom, no?
You should expect to join the chatroom if you follow the spec for XMPP
chatrooms:
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html
Has anyone done this
using a gmail account?
Many thousands have, yes. But I don't know if the standard Google Talk
client for Windows in fact supports XEP-0045, so you might need to use a
more full-featured XMPP client; there is a list here:
http://xmpp.org/software/clients.shtml
How do I join this chatroom Sir?
See XEP-0045.
