In my role with [http://copyleftgames.org/ Copyleft Games], I've been promoting XMPP as an open, decentralized game network as an alternative to the closed, centralized game networks operated by Microsoft (XBox Live), Sony (Playstation Network), Steam, etc. XMPP already provides most of the essential functionality of these networks; authentication, messaging, roster, voice chat, etc. What we lack are games and game engines supporting it. | In my role with [http://copyleftgames.org/ Copyleft Games], I've been promoting XMPP as an open, decentralized game network as an alternative to the closed, centralized game networks operated by Microsoft (XBox Live), Sony (Playstation Network), Steam, etc. XMPP already provides most of the essential functionality of these networks; authentication, messaging, roster, voice chat, etc. What we lack are games and game engines supporting it. | ||
Over the next year, I'll be investing a great deal of energy on a marketing and promotion group specifically around XMPP for gaming - both for foss/copyleft games and independent proprietary games, which I would like to see spearheaded under the XMPP Standards Foundation banner. The primary target for this will be the emerging mobile multiplayer games market which is not currently targeted by existing game networks and, due to their one-shot nature, usually lack desirable features XMPP can provide "for free" through client libraries and existing server infrastructure. | Over the next year, I'll be investing a great deal of energy on a marketing and promotion group specifically around XMPP for gaming - both for foss/copyleft games and independent proprietary games, which I would like to see spearheaded under the XMPP Standards Foundation banner.

There are many other application areas which could similarly use industry-specific promotion such as IoT. I feel these are important and wholly support efforts to further the use of XMPP in these areas, an ideal XSF board would be composed of people involved in promoting XMPP in different application areas. | |||
