Waqas Hussain Application 2014

I'm Waqas Hussain, and I'm reapplying for XSF membership.

For details on me, and the how and why of my getting involved, see all of my previous applications.

Projects this year

 * I've mainly been involved in the Prosody project
 * I've implemented XMPP-IM, as well as dozens of XEPs in Prosody, including MUC, PEP, vCards, XML-RPC, service discovery, etc
 * I've been working on a number of other interesting projects, but they are not public yet

Specifications

 * I find myself listed in the acknowledgments section of the three XMPP RFCs (xmpp-core, xmpp-im, xmpp-address)
 * I'm an author of XEP-0227: Portable Import/Export Format for XMPP-IM Servers, and acknowledged in many others

Community

 * I can usually be found hanging around in the JDev and Prosody rooms, frequently rendering assistance to new users
 * I'm also relatively active on the various XMPP mailing lists, arguing about this and that

Future plans

 * I'll continue to work on Prosody; we have some pretty interesting plans for upcoming versions
 * I'm interested in contributing to existing XEPs, as well as in writing and implementing some new ones
 * I've been spending time on some testing and performance tools
 * If I tried listing all my plans, I'll miss the application submission deadline

Contact
Same as last year:
 * Ping me over jabber: waqas at prosody dot im
