My name is Jon Neal, my jabber address is [xmpp:reportingsjr@gmail.com reportingsjr@gmail.com], and my email address is ([mailto:reportingsjr@gmail.com reportingsjr@gmail.com]. I live in Cincinnati, OH, US and I am working as a student contractor for google this summer under the google summer of code event. I am applying for membership in XSF.

History
I am currently an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Cincinnati. I have been programming for approximately 5 years. Over the past three years I have been a main contributer to PySoy, an open source 3d game engine. I have also done work in a number of different languages and environments including php and javascript for websites and standalone C projects.

XMPP Projects
I will be working on game networking in the PySoy project, managed by Arc Riley, over this summer which will be using xmpp heavily. I also worked on Concordance XMPP briefly.
