I started using Jabber/XMPP as an alternative to ICQ in autumn 2000. Since then, a good XMPP-client is a must-have installation on my PC. When I started using an Android smartphone, I did not watch out for XMPP clients at first. Then there came a day, when I was collecting votes (by talking to people in the streets) to receive a donation for a non-profit organization. I wrote a script to automatically determine the current number of votes (by parsing a website) and used XMPP to send those information to my smartphone. That was the time when I started to use XMPP on my smartphone. I recognized that centralized instant messengers are not a good solution for smartphones. | I started using Jabber/XMPP as an alternative to ICQ in autumn 2000.

In 2021 I got more active in the XMPP community. I deployed my blog eversten.net which is available in [https://eversten.net/ German] and [https://eversten.net/en/ English] to help non-technical people to get started with XMPP. In the year 2023 I introduced a new German website [https://www.xmpp24.de/ xmpp24.de] which focuses on video tutorials explaining the first steps when using an XMPP client for the first time. I test a lot of XMPP apps and I report bugs and inconsistencies to the developers. | In 2021 I got more active in the XMPP community.

Additionally, I operated a private ejabberd server in the years 2021 and 2022. In 2022, I decided to switch from ejabberd to Snikket as XMPP server software. | Additionally, I operated a private ejabberd server in the years 2021 and 2022.
