Jabber/XMPP involvement
I'm new to the community, although I have been a happy Jabber user since the early days and bought a copy of the first Jabber book, it is only recently that I have taken a renewed and enthusiastic interest in XMPP.
I am the CTO of a startup Jiva Technology based in Bristol, UK.
We are developing an XMPP based social search application called Happy To Help as part of a white label web application called Specialize In. Here is a quick sketch of the application architecture.
I am particularly interested in BOSH, PubSub, MUC and Jingle. I am also very interested in mobile and social web applications. I am also a member of the W3C Social Web Incubator Group (SWXG).
Motivation
As a member of Bristol Wireless a community co-operative I am a passionate advocate of Open Source.
At Jiva we will be releasing our JavaScript based client under the MIT licence, and contributing patches to the JSJaC library.
As a developer with an abiding interest in social software I feel that XMPP is on the verge of wider adoption and I would like to play a small part in promoting understanding of its importance and potential.
Please feel free to get in touch. I am especially keen to hear from other XMPP people in the UK.
