I've gone for a greatly shortened application again this year, to try to save everyone time reading it. For those interested, not much is different to http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Kevin_Smith_Application_2014.
I'm Kevin Smith, I work at Isode Ltd. where I'm responsible for the XMPP server and client activities. I use mailto:kevin@kismith.co.uk for email, and xmpp:kevin@doomsong.co.uk for XMPP (or mailto:kevin.smith@isode.com for work things).
Within the XSF I've been a member for a long time, was on Council for 9 years and Chaired Council for most of that. I'm usually a GSoC admin when we participate, I'm infrastructure team lead, I'm on the Editor team and I sometimes chair the Brussels Summits. I also generally poke my nose into the rest of the XSF's business.
My XMPP history is that I ran the Psi project for a number of years, run the Swift project, run the M-Link project, co-wrote the O'Reilly XMPP book, and have done various smaller things like SleekXMPP contributions, bots, migration tools etc. I've written XEPs.
