Ian Paterson Application 2006

History
I have been interested in Jabber since 1999 and developing Jabber applications full-time since 2001. I became a member of the JSF Council in 2005.

JEPs
I am the primary author of JEP-0116, JEP-0124, JEP-0136, JEP-0158 and JEP-0159.

I contribute to the development of many other protocols as a member of the JSF Council and by posting to the Standards-JIG mailing list (and occasionally to other lists).

Current Software Development Activities

 * Chatterbox Web-client (I've pioneered AJAX applications since 1998)
 * BreakThru HTTP proxy server

I also manage a public Jabber server.

Mentoring
During summer 2006 I am mentoring Jan Sembera to support his development of an open source ESessions code library (encrypted sessions - see JEP-0116).

Plans

 * Continue to develop the Chatterbox client and BreakThru server.
 * Maintain the various JEPs of which I am an author.
 * Contribute regularly to the Standards-JIG mailing list.
 * Persuade companies to adopt XMPP based solutions (while selling ClientSide's products and services).
 * Open a free public e2e encrypted Jabber service with an AJAX Web-client.
