The focus of my work moved more and more to privacy, but I still kept XMPP in the picture: the protocol has many features that serve many use cases in a privacy friendly way. Recently I have been pushing for the use of XMPP as standard for interoperability for instant messaging systems in Dutch healthcare, with moderate success: it is agreed upon to use it as (mandatory) standard, but the enforcement has still some issues...
