Backgound

I have been working as a system programmer or a developer for close to 20 years now. I have written a number of commercial IMAP/POP3 servers, the latest being Isode's M-Box. I have also written a distributed phone control system using SIP and Avaya's cvlan protocols. Plus numerous other distributed applications using various message passing protocols like BEEP.

I work full time for Isode Limited as the Architect for M-Box and M-Link.

XMPP Projects

Code

I designed and implemented the Isode XMPP server, M-Link.

Plans for the future

Continued work on M-Link including adding clustering support and XMPP over HF radio.

XMPP - Why I like it

I like using my own code for the services I run, so now I can use IM. It opens some interesting options to explore.

Why I'm applying

I could give some polically correct answer, but now I have a dog in the fight so it's nice to have some voice on the standard. No matter how small.
