Nolan Eakins Application 2005

Background
Most of my Jabber work has been on getting Psi MUCed up. I've also done my fair share of blogging about Jabber which gets all cross-posted to the planet. I would also say that I've played devil's advocate on the standards-jig list for some new JEPs. I have also been vocal against SIP/SIMPLE and would love nothing more than an XMPP/Jabber only world.

History

 * Blog posts on Jabber: http://nolan.eakins.net/taxonomy/term/11
 * Many comments to the standards-jig list: http://tinyurl.com/8kn29
 * Added support for most of MUC to Psi and in the process of adding bookmark support for auto-joining
 * Tried to get a heavily revised version of JEP-45 (MUC) passed
 * Used and played with many libs and clients. Sent small patches for some and comments for others.
 * Looked into creating an XMPP library for Common Lisp. To bad there aren't any decent XML parsers.
 * Played my part into getting Google to openly state they are going to federate

Future

 * Inline images and file attachments done with a layered set of JEPs: file [sharing] JEP -> file attachements -> inline images
 * Push for a series of JEPs defining an e2e crypto stack and not an all in wonder: encrypted stanza format, OTR/key and algor exchange and negotation, key management, byte streams, voice & video
 * Completely support the direction that Jingle is going and provide input to ensure that I can send offline voice and video messages (file [sharing] service) and crypto so it's big brother free
 * Pub/sub on Rails
 * XMPP and web app integration
 * Maybe go back and touch my translation proto-jep
 * Get MUCed up Psi out the door

And I'll keep being vocal. :-)
