= Kim Alvefur for Council =

Who
I’m Kim “Zash” Alvefur. You may know me from various MUCs, mailing lists and Summits. I’ve been an XSF member since forever. I mostly do server-side implementation in the form of Prosody and Prosody accessories.

Why
Why not?

How
I have opinions. Surely I can translate those into votes? How hard can it be?

As a server implementer I'll likely be more excited about doing cool things in servers than in clients.

Beware that I was pretty happy with the status quo in 2006.

How to get me to vote for your proposals

 * Solve a problem.
 * Improve the state of XMPP.
 * Reuse existing protocols and formats where it makes sense.
 * Don’t forget backwards compatibility, but don’t worry too much about it either.
 * Reasons and rationales.
 * Use the secret passphrase defined in XEP-0028.

Conclusion
Vote for me. Or not. I’m not your boss.
