"OpenRemote Community"

Also here's the details from the URL attributes in case it helps (I haven't tried Pidgin to connect to Skype):

joinpublicchat?skypename=juhalindfors&topic=OpenRemote%20Community&blob=JawQQGYddVpabNgvRuzP0s4lMD9Hj30ITEmXfuGdk4jGe1ktvEzRUPKFn5BxAWR7dGw

I was looking at a XMPP server installation the other day. Hope to test it soon.

Well it appears to be working, When I entered OpenRemote Community into the Room dialog box and hit accept it open the message dialog box. I had triad the blob=... section the previous time but that didn't appear to work. I'll leave it up all day and see if anyone joins though I might not be able to respond.

Thanks!

We are all there but can't see you, so I am guessing it didn't work. Seems like it created a room just for you?

BTW, how are you using Pidgin to connect to Skype accounts? I quickly glanced through the Pidgin Skype-plugin page and it seems to still require you have Skype running. Why not use Skype directly?

This is true (can't wait until you have a jabber setup). One problem is that I can't just click on the provided link. Linux/Firefox doesn't understand the skype: URL. I still have to manually enter the room information. So far I've been unable to do that. Nothing appears to work. I can create rooms (except a room with the name like this: JawQQGYddVpabNgvRuzP0s4lMD9Hj30ITEmXfuGdk4jGe1ktvEzRUPKFn5BxAWR7dGw , that gets an error). I can't get to the skype rooms. Also don't ask if I can use a Windows machine. My work laptop can not run Skype (security).

Well I can enter the juhalindfors room and I'm the only one there - 1 person in the room - as opposed to all the other rooms I was the 0 person in the room.

Ok but you can run Skype, right?

Send me your Skype user details, my ID is 'juhalindfors'.

There was also a mention that Skype rooms work on Windows and Mac OS X -- there was no specific mention of Linux so we will see.

Let's first see if we can chat on skype one-to-one. Then I'll try to invite you to the room. Let me know your Skype id.

Don't worry I won't force you to use Windows ;-)

I'll get the XMPP running soon.
