Background
I've been contributing to the free software community for the past 17 years.

Today I'm a officer and member in the Python Software Foundation and maintain several software projects working with Python and XMPP.

Contributions

 * Maintainer of several free software projects that work with XMPP, notably;
 * PySoy, a copyleft 3d game engine. The engine's included networking support is being based around XMPP for player chat and server discovering, Jingle UDP for network games.
 * Concordance, an in-development XMPP service framework for Python
 * Present to local software groups on XMPP

Future Plans

 * Generalized XEP for game discovery and publishing through PEP
 * Implement and help polish XMPP over WebSockets (mod_xmpp)
 * More work toward federated social web via XMPP

Why I want to renew my membership
I'm an advocate of XMPP and continue to keep my eye open for more ways to contribute to the community.
