I have always been very passionate about (protocol) standardization. XMPP is probably the greatest place to be for working on protocols, not only because of its potential, but because the community is extremely open to anybody who wants to contribute. I would like to continue my involvement in the community, and even take it to the next step as an XSF council member. | I have always been very passionate about (protocol) standardization.

== Plan == | |||
As a council member, I want to focus the XSF on the following topics during the following year: | |||
* Embedded XMPP: XMPP needs some work to be attractive to the restricted environment that mobile devices work in. | |||
* Jingle FT: Now that Jingle is being deployed for VoIP in several clients, we can start making use of the full power of the genericity of Jingle, and extend it to file transfer. This will allow us to build more reliable file transfer capabilities in clients than we have so far. | |||
* Improving user experience: Some 'flows' used in todays XMPP clients form big usability problems, and require changes in the protocol in order to fix them. These changes include the roster management of gateways/components, presence/priority handling in clients, reliable connections, secure communication. | |||
* Emerging technologies: XMPP is being considered and used in several emerging technologies, including microblogging and social networking. We should make sure that we have the facilities to become the de facto standard for these technologies. | |||
