I am the founder of ProcessOne (http://www.process-one.net/) and developer on ejabberd (http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/), an open source XMPP server implementation, and several other related Jabber projects.

I have been active in the Open Source community since 1993, both working on open source development and in French Linux non-profit organisations.  My interest for Jabber gets back to 2000, when I was working for a company developing a clustering and scalability layer around Jabberd.

Since then, I have been doing mainly XMPP and Erlang activities.

My main focus is to push XMPP to its limit in term of scope, reliability and scalabity to make a good business case for the protocol.

== Projects I have been involved in ==
I have been involved in the past on many Erlang projects:
* ejabberd
* Yaws web server
* BTT (ticket tracker)
* Manderlbot (IRC bot).
* J-EAI (logical data bus based on XMPP)
* exmpp (Erlang library for XMPP)
These days I am involved on new projects that we are preparing to launch at ProcessOne but also most of our large scale XMPP deploiment projects. It means I have a good vision on what the XMPP users need for large industrial deploiments, from a technical and organisational perspective.

It is now at the heart of some new highly innovative applications: XMPP as a way to coordinate a cluster of server, XMPP as a web service platform, XMPP as a news distribution mechanism, XMPP as a channel to mobile phones. XMPP is a glue between users, applications and devices. The whole idea of XMPP application server now makes sense.

My goal is to help making sure that the dream of an ubiquitous XMPP stays on its track and that the XSF is doing the right thing to share the vision and make it possible.
My goals are the following:
 
* to help making sure that the dream of an ubiquitous XMPP stays on its track and that the XSF is doing the right thing to share the vision and make it possible.
From a business perspective, this means convince more people to participate to the XSF (we need volunteers), more companies to become sponsor and more people to use XMPP.
* to convince more people to participate to the XSF (we need volunteers), more companies to become sponsor and more people to use XMPP.
 
* to represent the XMPP businesses in the XSF, as more and more companies are relying on XMPP to make a living. This is a good way to make sure the protocol has the required traction to push it further.
I also wants to represent the XMPP businesses in the XSF, as more and more companies are relying on XMPP to make a living.


This target are obviously long term effort. I will primarily focus on helping the XSF and the community behind it in defining and walking through the first steps on the road, by asking the right questions, and by participating to conference around the world to promote the protocol.

I also plan to keep participating to conferences around the world to promote the XMPP protocol (I mean THE protocol).
