Community Involvement

 * My involvement with XMPP began with Google Summer of Code 2008, in which I have updated and improved BOSH support of Openfire and the flash based XIFF library.


 * I have updated BOSH implementation of Openfire's connection manager module and also made various small fixes.


 * Nowadays I am interested in migrating Openfire's network application framework from Apache MINA to Netty. I also proposed this as a Summer of Code project, but probably it did not receive any applications.


 * I am a part of the technical review team and mostly learning from them (Actually I applied for the infrastructure team but no more help was needed there).

Why I am Reapplying
I would like to continue my efforts on XMPP software development, as well as improve myself to be able to contribute to the technical review team.
