Retirement of jabber.eecs March 27, 2020

March 24, 2020 by Rob McNicholas

IRIS has offered a jabber/XMPP server for a number of years, but usage has dropped to zero as people have migrated to other options. When the current SSL certificate expires March 27, 2020, we do not plan to renew it, and this service will be retired.

As a replacement for this service, we recommend Google Hangouts Chat or Hangouts Meet.
