Martin Hewitt Application 2015

Background
I’m currently employed by Surevine, working on XMPP-based federated collaboration projects, both open-source and internal prototypes

XMPP-related work
I spend my time working with XMPP-based systems, across a range of industries, using it as the underlying communication layer for a string of federated systems.

I work with the buddycloud server, via xmpp-ftw, and its extensions, building mainly front-end applications that sit on top of an XMPP connection. This often means implementing XEPs across this stack.

Goals
To help further XMPP-in-the-browser, improve the understanding of the affordances of XMPP, particularly federation and distributed systems, and to help establish XMPP as the fabric of federated, distribtued systems.

Having been in the XSF for a year now, I hope to increase my knowledge of the XEP process, and get more involved in assisting their creation and acceptance.
