Jacek Konieczny Application 2005

My name is Jacek Konieczny, and I am re-applying for JSF Membership.

Code
I am author of CJC (Jabber client for text terminals), PyXMPP (Python implementation of XMPP and several JEPs), JJIGW (Jabber-IRC gateway) and Jabber GG Transport (Jabber-GaduGadu gateway).

Admin
I am an administrator of a semi-public server jabber.bnet.pl. That is rather a toy for me and a playground to test my software, but it has also a few happy regular users.

Council, JEPs
I didn't write any JEP myself, but I often comment various JEPs and report bugs â€” especially when implementing the protocols.

Other activities
I talked about PubSub during "Pingwinaria 2005" (the most important Linux users (and open source lovers in general) meeting in Poland), and I will run XMPP programming workshop during the second most important meeting of this kind â€” "JesieÅ„ Linuksowa" in October.

Why?
Jabber/XMPP is my hobby, but it also may become a part of my job someday. JSF membership gives me a bit more of influence on the Jabber world and makes me more recognizable as a part of this world. I have been a JSF member for a two years now and I don't think this time was wasted.
