Abstract
This talk will showcase the simplicity and ease of setting up your own XMPP server using the Snikket software, walking step-by-step through the process using slides. The end result will be a fully functioning XMPP server that can be used throughout the remainder of the conference between all attendees. There will be a demonstration of the features available to a Snikket Instance including, but not limited to, inviting others to join your server, group chats that are private or public, adding contacts, managing and updating the instance as the admin, creating limited accounts for kids, and steps for more secure end-to-end encryption. This talk will also dive into some personal privacy, security, and persona considerations and how they will be affected by your threat model.
