Martin Hewitt Application 2017

Background
I’m currently employed by Surevine, working on XMPP-based federated collaboration projects, primarily in the cyber-security market.

XMPP-related work
We use XMPP at the core of our software platform, which I am the Product Manager of. We make heavy use of federation, PubSub, and the emerging MIX standard.

Surevine are involved in supporting the Openfire community, and we use Stanza.io as our in-browser client of choice. Previously we have also used Prosody, and xmpp-ftw.

Goals
To continue to support the XSF, and its Board, in communicating the values and affordances of XMPP-based distributed systems.

To help the development of further standards for the distributed, privacy-conscious internet of today, and advocate for open-standards-based platforms.

To continue to serve on the XSF Board, enabling the great teams of the XSF to go about their business.
