My main focus is to push XMPP to its limit in term of scope, reliability and scalabity to make a good business case for the protocol.

==Why I'm reapplying==
The XMPP protocol is currently booming and the original vision is currently on its way to be achieved. It is not only anymore a chat protocol, but it is used as an event based protocol.
It is now at the heart of some new highly innovative applications: XMPP as a way to coordinate a cluster of server, XMPP as a web service platform, XMPP as a news distribution mechanism, XMPP as a channel to mobile phones. XMPP is a glue between users, applications and devices. The whole idea of XMPP application server now makes sense.
My goals are the following:
* to help making sure that the dream of an ubiquitous XMPP stays on its track and that the XSF is doing the right thing to share the vision and make it possible.
* to convince more people to participate to the XSF (we need volunteers), more companies to become sponsor and more people to use XMPP.
* to represent the XMPP businesses in the XSF, as more and more companies are relying on XMPP to make a living. This is a good way to make sure the protocol has the required traction to push it further.
* to help tackling hard and controversial topics such as *interop testing*. I am for example personnaly involved in testing framework work and would really like to push the interop testing framework operation (can I say certification ? ;).
Those targets are obviously long term efforts. I will primarily focus on helping the XSF and the community behind it in defining and walking through the first steps on the road, by asking the right questions. I also plan to keep participating to conferences around the world to promote the XMPP protocol (I mean THE protocol).

These days I am involved on new projects that we are preparing to launch at ProcessOne but also most of our large scale XMPP deploiment projects. It means I have a good vision on what the XMPP users need for large industrial deploiments, from a technical and organisational perspective.
