Lance Stout for Council 2012

I'm Lance Stout, and this is my first time running for Council. I've been developing applications using XMPP since 2009, and an active member of the XSF since summer 2011. I currently work at &yet (with Bear), focusing on integrating XMPP into our products.

While I don't have a list of XEPs with my name in the authors list, I do have the technical and detail oriented focus needed for reviewing and designing protocols.

Experience

 * My main point of experience is the continued development of the SleekXMPP Python library.
 * I've implemented support for ~60 XEPs, and have a firm understanding of how they work, and the design principles behind them.

Goals

 * Promoting security by default, and keeping up awareness on any discovered XMPP vulnerabilities.
 * Moving forward on enhancements to PEP (PEP inbox using MAM, etc), as was discussed at the FOSDEM 2012 summit.
