Personal Eventing via Pubsub (PEP) is a recent addition to the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, the core protocol of the Jabber Instant Messaging network. Personal Eventing allows for a user's Jabber ID to act as a virtual publish-subscribe service enabling the user to publish notifications of event changes relating to their personal state. Subscribers to a user's PEP service can then be notified of information such as User Mood (how the user is feeling), User Tune (music the user is listening to), or User Geolocation (current geographical location of a user). This project is a result of my participation in Google Summer of Code 2007. The primary goal set out in its abstract is to implement PEP in Openfire, a Jabber server written in Java.

Openfire 3.4.0 and later now includes my implementation of PEP. Grab the latest version of Openfire here.

You can checkout the latest revision of the PEP implementation from Openfire's svn repository here.

If you are looking for a Jabber client to test PEP with, I recommend using either the latest version of Psi or Coccinella from their respective versioning repositories.

If you wish to add your server to this list, send a message to one of the addresses listed in the contact section of my weblog.

Details of the implementation can be found in posts on my programming weblog in the 'Google Summer of Code' category. There are a lot of technical details about the project along with screenshots from tests with Jabber clients.

All sections are implemented.

Below is a table that gives an overview of which sections in the specification have been implemented and verified for correctness. (Updated: 2007-08-10)
