Join the OSM India Jabber/XMPP channel!

Jabber/XMPP is a community-run and privacy-conscious system for rich chat and audio/video calls. (Read more about Jabber/XMPP.)

People in our Jabber/XMPP channel are the first to know about future events. It's also a great place to meet other OpenStreetMap contributors and to learn from them.

  1. Install an XMPP client, e.g. Prāv (Play Store/F-Droid),

  2. Then, open this link with Prāv - osm-in@conference.a3.pm
