Simon Tennant Application 2014

My name is Simon Tennant and I am applying for XSF membership.

Background
I'm interested in decentralised, federated systems and believe that systems like XMPP will grow in importance. The realtime-ness of XMPP is also an exciting tool to use in fun apps.

I've been working on the Buddycloud project for the last three years.

XMPP-related projects

 * Buddycloud communication tools

Why I'm applying
The success of an organisation like the XSF depends on a balance of protocol work with outreach. At the moment I see very little outreach effectivness and lots of good technical work.

I would like to work on bringing XMPP to a larger audience. Some of this will come with the Buddycloud work. Some will come with making XMPP relevant to the HTTP developer community.
