Matthew Miller for Council 2012

History
I've been involved with the Jabber community since late 2000. I've been a member of the XSF since it's inception in 2001, and have previously served on the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2010, and 2011 XSF Councils.

Contributions
My primary contribution has been as a senior engineer and architect of XMPP client libraries for Cisco, Inc. and a Professional Services Engineer for Jabber, Inc.. I also developed JSO (a low-level XMPP library for Java).

I have also been an author or co-author for numerous XEPs:


 * Ad-Hoc Commands
 * SOCKS5 Bytestreams
 * Stream Initiation
 * SI File Transfer
 * Authenticating HTTP Requests via XMPP
 * Data Forms Validation
 * Publishing SI Requests
 * Data Forms Layout
 * Domain-Based Service Names in XMPP SASL Negotation
 * Message Carbons

I am also working on couple of things in the IETF:


 * End-to-End Object Encryption for XMPP
 * DNSSEC and DANE for XMPP Domain Name Associations
 * POSH for XMPP Domain Name Associations

Priorities
My primary goals for 2012 are:
 * 1) To help develop and promote usable protocol(s) for end-to-end encryption.
 * 2) To help develop and promote usable protocol(s) for secure delegation and federation.
 * 3) To apply my years of experience on messaging technologies to the current generation of XSF work
