Waqas Hussain Application 2015

I'm Waqas Hussain, and I'm reapplying for XSF membership. I've been a member of the XSF since 2008, and have been active in the community and standards process throughout this period.

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

Contact
Same as last year:
 * Ping me over jabber: waqas at prosody dot im
 * Send me an email: waqas20 at gmail dot com
 * Or you can just poke me in the JDev or Prosody rooms
