The presence packet at the end signifies that you are now able to
communicate in the room. The sequence goes as follows: other users
presence, room messages, your presence.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'pushing'?

The hex string is actually a SHA1 hash of the users real jid. Its used
to reference a user, but not reveal the true jid. If the room is set up
to allow people to see the real jid, then just browse
girls at conference.localhost/13c6a01dc31309e331c2b018640b9c03b8534327 and
it will show you the true jid. This also helps to keep compatability to
existing clients that are used to this form with the
groupchat/conferencing module. The real jid is used as the reference, as
a person can keep changing their nick throughout a session, but they
can't change their real jid
