Even if a certain service has more features, I prefer to use the one based on open protocols, and in this case, IRC.

Kandan is completely Open Source and uses Faye as a messaging protocol which is also Open Source.

Yeah I realized I might consider it if it's OSS.

Sweet mother of moses... if this is at all close to the stackexchange/serverfault http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/127/the-comms-room chat rooms, I'm all in! Seems like it at least, will have to give it a try.

As a SE mod (and Kandan dev member), it's similar. Definitely worth looking into (in my opinion). :)

Goes it have GitHub integration out of the box? That is the killer HipChat feature for me. I also like that HipChat will let me upload and link people to files.

There's a link for their Hubot integration in the README.

I got stumped on that one too. Just create a demo account and use that to login.

Balloons.io (http://balloons.io/) looks pretty similar, and it's open-source as well (https://github.com/gravityonmars/Balloons.IO).

Looks awesome! I really love HipChat, but I'd love to be able to really customize it. The local chat room becomes a pretty big part of the company and deserves to have all manner of culture added to it (logo, sounds, etc).

What an asshole of a name to give chat software, surely they'd heard of Jabber/XMPP?

It was written in ASP. We can't assume anything!

We've been trying this out at my company, it's pretty full-featured already. Now if I could just get all my colleague's on board with the idea of a private company chat.
