• IEEE IoT Harmonization effort.
• Working with the Swedish Internet Foundation to develop standards for Smart Cities.
• Promoting XMPP for IoT.
• Developed an XMPP broker for IoT.
• Developed a Simple IoT Client.
• Developed an IoT Gateway.
• Developed an array of communication-related libraries.

• Little Sister, a distributed social network, distributed object database and collaboration platform based on XMPP.

Purpose for reapplying

The main purpose for reapplying for membership is to be able to propose XMPP extensions and support existing ones. My main interest is to expand XMPP to be used mainly within the following three areas:

• Internet of Things.
• Semantic Web (web 3.0).
• Decentralized social networks.
