The google talk conference bot was written by me to address the lack of MUC server for google talk. Without s2s I couldn't run my own MUC server, so I wrote something similar. A conference bot.
The conference bot works runs as a normal google talk user that relays everything said to it to everyone on its contact list. It supports some simple commands (like )names), and has a basic admin interface to deal with abusers. The bot is written in python, and is tested under Linux, although apparently it works fine under Windows too.
This is a list of commands supported by the bot. You can use "/" or ")" to prefix commands. Some clients use "/" internally for their own commands.

The bot is available under the GPL. To configure it you need to make sure you have a copy of python installed. Then download the latest version. Then run the "confbot.py" script. The bot will prompt you for the bots gmail account name and password, as well as a topic to describe the bot. Then it should all be working! You might want to edit the confbot.ini file later to change some of the settings.
Note when upgrading to 1.6: You will need to delete your confbot.ini file and let the bot generate you a new one.
conferencebot is also available in subversion
