Ian Paterson Application 2007

History

I have been interested in Jabber since 1999 and developing Jabber applications full-time since 2001. I have served as a member of the XSF Council since 2005.

XEPs

I am the primary author of XEP-0116, XEP-0187, XEP-0188, XEP-0200, XEP-0210, XEP-0217 (all Encrypted Sessions), XEP-0124, XEP-0206 (both XMPP/HTTP), XEP-0136 (Message Archiving), XEP-0059 (Results Set Management), XEP-0155 (Stanza Session Negotiation), XEP-0189 (Public Key Publishing), XEP-0158 and XEP-0159 (both anti-SPIM).

I contribute to the development of many other protocols as a member of the JSF Council and by posting to the Standards-JIG mailing list (and occasionally to other lists).

Current Software Development Activities

• Chatterbox Web-client (I've pioneered AJAX applications since 1998)
• BreakThru HTTP proxy server

I also manage a public Jabber server.

Mentoring

During summers 2006 and 2007 I mentored Jan Sembera and Brendon Taylor to support their development of open source Encrypted Sessions code (see XEP-0116).

Conferences

I gave a presentation on using XMPP to develop Rich Internet Applications at FOSDEM 2007.

Plans

• Continue to develop the Chatterbox client and BreakThru server.
• Maintain the various XEPs of which I am an author.
• Contribute regularly to the Standards-JIG mailing list.
• Persuade companies to adopt XMPP based solutions (while selling ClientSide's products and services).
• Open a free public e2e encrypted Jabber service with an AJAX Web-client.
