Dirk Meyer Application 2012

About me
I'm Dirk Meyer and I live in Bremen, Germany. I joined the XMPP community during the work on my PhD thesis about extended personal media networks. My current job is completely unrelated to XMPP but I still have an interest in XMPP and the road it is taking.

XMPP activities
In the past, I worked on IBB/Socks5 with Jingle, Public Key Publishing, and submitted an I.D. about E2E security using Jingle and TLS. Since I finished my thesis I had no time for XMPP. Last year I wrote here, that I plan to put more time into XMPP but except reading the mailing lists and voting (except last time, sorry) I did nothing. You can think of me as a more or less silent member.

So why am I re-applying? I'm still interested in XMPP E2E security and would at least help in discussions to get this thing done. I'm still interested in connecting a media centre (Freevo in my case since I'm the maintainer) and a phone using end-to-end secured XMPP streams. But I do not believe I will have much time for active XMPP development the next year. If you think a silent member with some active XMPP past is worth to be a member, vote for yes, otherwise, vote no -- I completely understand both points.
