Matthew Wild for Council 2013

My name is Matthew Wild (and sometimes 'MattJ'), and I am located in the United Kingdom. I have been an XSF member since January 2008.

Me and XMPP
My main work at the moment, since launching the project in 2008, is in leading the development of Prosody, a lightweight XMPP server. For details of my other XMPP-related work, feel free to browse my XSF membership applications.

XMPP Council
I have been elected a council member for four terms and am standing again with the aim of continuing the work we have been doing.

Principles
Very much in line with my software development principles, I favour XEPs that:


 * Are as small (limited in scope) and as simple as possible, but obviously no simpler
 * Allow for fast and efficient implementations; for servers especially, but also clients
 * Don't needlessly duplicate existing protocols in use
 * Have working existing or proof-of-concept implementations

I believe I have met these goals in specifications I have authored, including:


 * XEP-0297: Stanza Forwarding
 * XEP-0313: Message Archive Management
 * XEP-0334: Message Processing Hints

Conclusion
If you agree with the above then yay, you found a reason to vote for me!
