I'd assume same rule applies for chat as we already have for email: Debian resources are for Debian work, not private or business use. ...which implies it is gone when you stop being part of Debian. If my assumption is correct, then instead of talking specifically about guarantees for XMPP I recommend that we instead talk about a) which places currently mentions email policy, b) whether those places should be updated to explicitly mention XMPP (or perhaps oppositely stop being explicit about email), and c) whether we wanna change that policy. > - Can you recommend best practices and/or tools for migrating from a > primary XMPP identity to a new one? > > I (shamefully) still use an @gmail.com address as my main XMPP > identity and I've been looking into migrating away since quite a > while.

You probably should only extend, not migrate - see above. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
