APNIC Conferences feature Jabber chat rooms to allow people anywhere in the world to follow and participate in live discussions.
You can use Jabber either in a web browser (with the links provided on the Conference website) or by downloading a stand alone Jabber client.
To chat via a stand alone client, please follow the steps below:
APNIC has tested the Jabber client PSI on most major platforms.
You can also use other Jabber clients that support groupchat. Your systems administrator may be able to help you choose and configure an alternative client.
Refer to your Jabber client help guide or the Jabber.org User Guide for instructions. Ensure that the jabber server you use to create your account supports groupchat.
In your Jabber client, choose the "Join Groupchat" option.
