Johannes Wagener Application 2008

My name is Johannes Wagener and I'm reapplying to retain my JSF membership.

History
I am a 29 years old MD living in Munich, Germany, and I am member of the XSF since October 2002. In the past years I was the maintainer of several Jabber/XMPP related projects (see Contributions).

My current programming activities are focused on contributions to the Bioclipse project, a complex Eclipse RCP that is aimed at creating a Java-based, open source, visual platform for chemo- and bioinformatics. As the developer of the Web Services Plug-In I got in touch with SOAP/Axis and experienced the disadvantages of this technology. This guided me back to the XMPP technology: in the past two years I spent lots of time developing XMPP specific code and a XEP.

Actually the XEP made it to Experimental just a few months ago (XEP-0244 - IO Data) and we are currently working hard to get a first release of our XMPP Web Service library (LGPL) out.

Why I'm reapplying
As I continue with my work on Bioclipse and XMPP I think it is an important point to stay in touch with the XSF. Future Web Services (and communication) might run with XMPP, I like programming with Jabber and - in addition to that - I also met many friendly people and friends here.

XMPP specific code

 * XMPP Web Services for Java library (XWS4J) - no docu webpage available yet.


 * I've written XMPP Client Daemon, a stand-alone application that is installed on a computer to make XMPP (Jabber) services available to system. Other applications designed for the XCD API can connect to the XCD and share their XMPP sessions between each other.


 * Another project is the wxSkabber client (sadly, the webpage of this client is gone as my sponsor canceled support). There are still some screenshots available online.


 * If you are interested in the current Bioclipse/XMPP project I would be happy to get in contact with you. Just send me a message at my known JID.

More code...
I have still a wxWidgets compatible XMPP library here on HD. If someone is interested please message me. I will use Java in future as my current projects are in this language.

Jabber documentation
I wrote some pages of the Jabber Programmer's Guide.
