Remote Access for the 55th IETF meeting in Atlanta: Text Conferencing At each IETF meeting, two of the working group meeting rooms are equipped for video multicast and remote participation. That is, for every IETF meeting slot, two of the working groups can see and hear the meeting. For the 55th IETF, in *addition* to the usual network A/V, text conferencing will be provided for every working group that meets. All of the conference rooms are hosted on conference.ietf.jabber.com and each is named using the official IETF abbreviation found in the agenda (e.g., "apparea", "dhc", "forces", and so on -- for all the examples that follow, we'll use "foobar" as the abbreviation). Each conference room also has a 'bot which records everything that gets sent: http://www.jabber.com/chatbot/logs/conference.ietf.jabber.com/foobar/ Enjoy! /mtr
