<p><b>New page</b></p><div>My name is [http://matthewwild.co.uk/ Matthew Wild], and I am located in the United Kingdom. I have been an XSF member since January 2008.<br />
<br />
== Me and XMPP ==<br />
<br />
My main work at the moment, since launching the project in 2008, is in leading the development of [http://prosody.im/ Prosody], a lightweight XMPP server. For details of my other XMPP-related work, feel free to browse my XSF [[Matthew_Wild_January_2009|membership applications]].<br />
<br />
== XMPP Council == <br />
<br />
I am standing for council because I feel I could make a valuable contribution to the standards process. To be honest I often find <br />
myself participating during council meetings already, albeit as a vocal spectator. <br />
<br />
Very much in line with my software development principles, I favour [http://xmpp.org/extensions/ XEPs] that: <br />
<br />
* Are as small (limited in scope) and as simple as possible, but obviously no simpler<br />
* Allow for fast and efficient implementations; for servers especially, but also clients<br />
* Don't needlessly duplicate existing protocols in use<br />
* Have working existing or proof-of-concept implementations<br />
<br />
I won't specifically mention criteria related to the actual document's writing style itself, [http://stpeter.im/ Peter Saint-Andre] already does an excellent job of writing and tidying XEPs during the standards process, and ensures they contain plenty of examples and cross-references. The XMPP specifications are unrivalled in that respect :-)<br />
<br />
If you agree with the above then yay, you found a reason to vote for me!<br />
<br />
== Postscript == <br />
The real reason I'm applying? Thank [[Dave_Cridland_for_Council_2009#XMPP_Council|Dave Cridland]], who seems to think competition is a good thing. So do I.</div>MattJ
