Notes

Previous applications here and here and here.

It's been a far busier XMPP year for me. It's been my first attempt at sitting on the Council, and I've added another XMPP project to the things I do outside of my annoyingly non-XMPP day-job. A lot of my contribution to Openfire over the years have been testing the work of other folks (with a few attempts at pretending to be a developer), but the NLNet project to create interoperability tests for the XMPP ecosystem has been the most testing-related thing I've done to date. When this project ends, maybe I'll continue leaning on testing skills and find another project. Re-reading last years submission, I never did start that testable XEP examples thing... Maybe this year?
