In this workshop we will talk a bit about XMPP and its features, and why it is better than its alternatives. We will concentrate on the Snikket project philosophy and peculiarities, both on client and server side. We will describe briefly how easy the Snikket installation procedure is, and some of the required technical prerequisites.

Then the participants will be invited to join Snikket, and we will try messaging each-other and group messaging, explaining also the security features that are built into Snikket.

Finally we will also see how to install Gajim on Linux, with flatpack, and how to use the same XMPP address that we have on Snikket.
