Why I am reapplying

I have long been a fan of open distributed systems. I think it is very important that everybody can use a service they can trust and can rely on. I personally think the best way to ensure that is using your own server or one administered by a friend. XMPP fits this bill very well for IM and that is the original reason I got involved with the XMPP community. I have since found it very exciting to see technology grow and working with the XSF exchanging views on how protocol extensions should work on e.g. the standards@ ML. I've also been participating in discussions within the XMPP WG and various related WGs.
