Kim Alvefur for Council

Who

I’m Kim “Zash” Alvefur. You may know me from various MUCs, mailing lists and Summits. I’ve been an XSF member since forever. I mostly do server-side implementation in the form of Prosody and Prosody accessories.

Why

Why not?

How

I have opinions. Surely I can translate those into votes? How hard can it be?

As a server implementer I'll likely be more excited about doing cool things in servers than in clients.

Beware that I was pretty happy with the status quo in 2006.

How to get me to vote for your proposals

• Solve a problem.
• Improve the state of XMPP.
• Reuse existing protocols and formats where it makes sense.
• Don’t forget backwards compatibility, but don’t worry too much about it either.
• Reasons and rationales.
• Use the secret passphrase defined in XEP-0028.

Conclusion

Vote for me. Or not. I’m not your boss.
