Guillaume LeGales Application 2010

My name is Guillaume Le Gales and I'm re-applying for XSF membership.

History
I am 28 years old French engineer, living in Paris France.

Web passionate, I used to be an IRC user and I've always been coding diffent Internet stuff on my free time. I worked as a consultant for 3 years in the Telecom & Media industry, on several European web projects.

Since september 2008, I've been working full time for the company I founded : U Pro. It's an event streaming service with XMPP based live interactivity.

I joined the XSF in 2009, contributing on the Communication Team.

Code

 * U Pro : founder and CTO of an event live streaming service with XMPP (MUC and PEP over Strophe / Ejabberd).


 * U Federation : founder and CTO of an XMPP groupchat service with a web interface, with JSJAC and eJabberd


 * Buzz des politiques : coded a ranking service for French politics using the Collecta API

Contributions

 * Marketing 3.0 : founder of French blog Marketing 3.0 promoting XMPP, with technological & marketing news, available from Planet JabberFR and PubSubHubbub friendly
 * JabberFR : member of JabberFR, have made several contributions in the JabberFR Wiki on MUC and web interfaces

Plans for the future
Many ideas to investigate :)
 * MUC robots
 * MUC search
 * Mingle

Why I like Jabber
I am an XMPP fan because it's :
 * open, flexible and stable
 * becoming THE standard for real time communication
 * changing the rules of the traditional proprietary IM

Why I'm re applying
I've had a great time working with XSF community, and I'd like to continue helping on the Communication team.
