Having served on the board for 2012, I'm applying to continue board candidacy for 2013.
History
I've been a heavy user and advocate of XMPP since 2004.
Over the past 14 years I've served as director for dozens of 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations including community centers, sports clubs, religious organizations, educational tech organizations, charities, and a local currency system. While very different in purpose, these organizations share a great deal in the need for fund raising, outreach, volunteer engagement, and building a positive public image.
I currently serve as director for Copyleft Games Group, lead Python XML SIG, and maintain several software projects related to XMPP.
In 2012 I primarily spoke and presented regarding XMPP, my largest undertaking was organizing a poster session at PyCon with Ralph Meijer and Lance Stout.
Goals
The XMPP community needs to attract new blood and inspire the members we have now to re-invest.
While the board has had a largely passive role within the organization, I believe we're at a turning point and must become more active.
My goals XMPP-wise over the next year;
- Promote more work on social networking over XMPP
- Assist in fundraising and outreach
- Help facilitate sprints and interop events
- Rebuild the regional XMPP group in Washington, DC
- Support other people doing awesome XMPP stuff
