Jabber & Breeze
Jabber & Breeze: The link goes to a Breeze presentation by Adobe staffer Fang Chang, offering the business rationale between the new integration between the instant messaging of Jabber and the richer collaboration of Breeze. If you're IMing a colleague, you can immediately bring them into a Breeze room for visuals, whiteboards, guided surfing, etc. The integration is currently for licensed servers, and slide 9 adds that work is underway for a hosted solution too. Makes sense... when text messaging isn't enough, now you can virtually share a desktop too. The work was originally one-off research for government use, and proved practical enough to be rolled right into the standard Jabber extensibility model. Seems significant to me....

Awesome integration of technologies. John do you know if there is any API or further integration of the jabber messaging within a breeze meeting room.
[jd sez: I'm not sure yet myself... I had heard rumblings of an agreement for awhile, but just learned it went through yesterday. On Jabber's side there's the whole set of XCP services, and Breeze and Flash Player also have their own programmability, but I'm not yet sure of the areas where these two technologies reach into each other yet, regrets.]
