Matthias Wimmer Application 2006

About me
My name is Matthias Wimmer, I am 29 years old and living in Germany. I am working for a mobile network operator in Germany where I am doing database programming for the network rollout.

Code

 * I am maintaining the jabberd14 codebase
 * maintaining jadc2s a client connection replacement for jabberd14 and other server implementations

Services

 * I am operating the amessage.* Jabber server
 * I plan to start a new Jabber server on jabber.eu and xmpp.eu (and some other xmpp.* domains)

Future plans
I already made jabberd14 nearly XMPP compatible (only privacy lists, and client-SASL-auth are still missing), and want to finish this work by implementing these last to open things. After jabberd14 is XMPP compatible, I will continue to add new other features to jabberd14.

I was successful in registering jabber.eu, and xmpp.eu and want to use these domains to start a new Jabber server. I want to use this second Jabber server to operate a different server software, which I hope will give me additional ideas to improve jabberd14, as well as ideas to improve the services I can offer.

An other important thing for me is to improve SMTP and XMPP interaction in a way that any SMTP user can communicate with any XMPP user without the need to register for transports or explicitly register for gateways.

Jabber history

 * I am involved with Jabber since 1999 when I searched an IM protocol, that I was able to tunnel through our university firewall using an ssh tunnel.
 * In 2000 I started to first implement IPv6 support in Gabber and afterwards in the jabberd server (either version 1.4.x and 2.x).
 * In 2001 I started to operate my own Jabber server which started as charente.de and is amessage.* now.

Why I am reapplying
Because I want to continue supporting the Jabber community.
