The XMPP Standards Foundation (formerly the Jabber Software Foundation) is an independent, nonprofit standards development organization whose primary mission is to define open protocols for presence, instant messaging, and real-time communication and collaboration on top of the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). The XSF also provides information and infrastructure to the worldwide community of Jabber/XMPP developers, service providers, and end users.

As a GSoC org, we're happy to mentor projects on most of the mainstream XMPP chat clients, servers, libraries, bots and other parts of the XMPP infrastructure.

Currently, Melange's interface doesn't allow non-IRC chatroom links - our main room is xmpp:jdev@conference.jabber.org?join
