<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Who the heck are you?==<br />
<br />
I'm the now almost legendary Dave Cridland<br />
<br />
==Why are you reapplying?==<br />
<br />
Partly because if I don't, I'd be forced off the XMPP Council, which'd be a bit annoying, given that TV on Wednesday nights is still terrible.<br />
<br />
Mostly because I'm weird enough to actually want to *do* things with XMPP and the XSF. I even remembered I was a member, which I think is a bit of a plus.<br />
<br />
==What sort of things do you do for the world of XMPP?==<br />
<br />
I write occasional blog posts, I help develop Isode M-Link, I try to make useful comments on XEPs, and I try to get other people doing the same.<br />
<br />
==What is your favourite colour?==<br />
<br />
I'm not entirely sure. My least favourite combination of colours is green and purple, if that helps.<br />
<br />
==Why do you spell colour that way?==<br />
<br />
It's the right way, especially if you're British, which I am.<br />
<br />
==Where do you live?==<br />
<br />
Wales.<br />
<br />
==What's the point of these questions?==<br />
<br />
I've no idea, quite honestly. Nobody ever reads these things anyway.<br />
<br />
==Who's asking them anyway?==<br />
<br />
What, you mean, who are you?<br />
<br />
==Exactly.==<br />
<br />
Oh, well, you'd be me, really.<br />
<br />
==What?==<br />
<br />
Well, I'm writing both the questions and the answers. The reader is assumed to be an interested third party to the discussion, really.<br />
<br />
==Doesn't that mean you're a bit soft in the head?==<br />
<br />
Most likely. Years of reading RFCs, Internet Drafts, XEPs - it all erodes the mind.<br />
<br />
==What would someone who really wanted to ask you questions do?==<br />
<br />
Well, there's this great technology called XMPP, which people can use. It's like sending very short letters, except apparently any form of punctuation, grammar, or spelling is entirely optional, and it's instant.<br />
<br />
==Wow, sounds great, what's your Thingumijid?==<br />
<br />
I'm xmpp:dwd@dave.cridland.net - which isn't recognised as a URI by our own Wiki. Not a bit ironic, of course.<br />
<br />
==Cool. And for longer, more involved questions?==<br />
<br />
You could send me email at mailto:dave@cridland.net<br />
<br />
==But I needn't, because...==<br />
<br />
You're just the voice inside my head, yes, I know.</div>Dwd
