[jdev] [ANN] Apache Vysper and GSoC project

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi,

Apache Vysper (pronounce 'whisper', source[1], docs[2]) is an
ASL-licensed[4] open source XMPP implementation in Java currently under
development at the Apache Software Foundation.

After some years at Apache Labs, Vysper is now a sub-project of Apache
MINA[3] and development will hopefully take up speed there.

Vysper has seen no release yet, is not ready for production, and docs
are still sparse.

Additionally, I'm happy to announce that we can welcome Michael Jakl as
a Google Summer of Code student this year. He will implement PubSub for
Vysper. So XMPP is not completely lost on SoC :-)

The ASF is an open community not very different in mindset from the XSF.
So everybody here is invited to use, participate and contribute to
Apache Vysper.

Thanks for listening,

  Bernd
