This should be easily done with the existing Debian packages for Jabber.

This may be a bit more difficult. I'm assuming that you mean you want
to log all traffic passing through the server, right? If so, you'll
need something like BanderSnatch:

That should allow for your users to chat directly and in group chat
rooms.

whiteboarding is Cocinella:

It is also cross platform, The UI could use some serious work, but the
whiteboarding seems to work fairly well from the limited testing I've
done.
