Ali Sabil Application 2010

= Ali Sabil = I am a 24 years old research engineer, originally from Casablanca, Morocco. Currently living in Oslo, Norway. I contribute to various Free and Open Source projects. I have been interested in XMPP and more generally in real-time communication protocols for the past 4 years.
