After another brief hiatus, I would like to apply again for XSF membership.
In the past I have served as an author on many XEPs and acted as an editor and member of the council.
In the past I have served as an author on many XEPs and acted as an editor and member of the council.
My goals in re-joining the XSF are to help create some benefit to joining other than being allowed to volunteer on committees (I have already started working on this a little as a non-member in the form of advocating for the XSF to become a fiscal host), and to change the rules so that others can volunteer on committees without becoming members (so that membership isn't a prerequisite to volunteering, rather volunteering is a path towards membership and taking more active roles within the organization).
I am also still attempting to find a way to work on XMPP related projects during my day job again, and am hoping that being a member might help.

I've contributed a number of features to [https://github.com/siacs/Conversations/graphs/contributors Conversations] (though I mostly don't work on Android anymore) and many more one-off patches to other XMPP clients, servers, and libraries. In particular, I wrote and maintain the [https://mellium.im/ Mellium] set of XMPP tools, clients, and libraries in [https://golang.org/ Go].
