== Who am I? ==
I’ve been an XMPP user since 2006, then quickly became [xmpp:linkmauve.fr service administrator], took part to the [https://jabberfr.org/ French XMPP community] then the whole XMPP community, became [https://poez.io/ client developer] and [https://dev.louiz.org/projects/slixmpp library maintainer], [https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0380.html XEP author], and [https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation.html#council council member].  I was also a graphics engineer during my previous job, worked on [https://wayland.freedesktop.org/ Wayland], [https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/drm/gpu/drm-kms.html DRM] and related projects in the graphics stack of Linux.  I’m also a [https://pytouhou.linkmauve.fr/ game developer] on my free time.

== Why am I reapplying? ==
I am a firm supporter of federated systems, and want to help the XSF and the various entities who support it reach their goals.  I plan on continuing to report and fix specification bugs whenever I encounter them, on continuing to develop XMPP further, both on the technical side, on the user-friendly/marketing side, and on the social side by giving users a stepping point from which to start chatting right away, by helping whoever needs help around XMPP projects, and by generally raising awareness about XMPP.

== My current projects ==
* [https://jabberfr.org/ JabberFR], a French association promoting free instant messaging, and providing an XMPP service for about 700 daily users.
* [https://hg.linkmauve.fr/xmpp-parsers xmpp-parsers] and [https://gitlab.com/lumi/xmpp-rs xmpp-rs], a set of Rust libraries to write XMPP applications with.
* [https://poez.io poezio], a console client for people nostalgic of power IRC clients.
* [https://prosody.im Prosody], implementing the missing features identified at JabberFR.
