History
I've been involved with the Jabber community since late 1999. I've been the managing editor of our community standards process since the JSF (now XSF) was founded in 2001, the XSF's Executive Director since 2002, and Chair of the XMPP Council for 2004-2005, 2005-2006, and 2006-2007.
Contributions
Since I'm not a great coder, my original contributions to the Jabber community were HOWTOs for software like jabberd 1.4 and Winjab back in 2000 and 2001. Since 2001 I've mostly focused on documenting existing protocols and writing new protocol specs. As a result I edited the XMPP RFCs and have also written dozens of XMPP Extension Protocols (XEPs).
Seventh Council Priorities
In last year's Council elections, I claimed that during the Sixth Council we could stabilize pubsub/PEP, make good progress on end-to-end encryption, complete revisions to the XMPP RFCs at the IETF, advance more XEPs from Draft to Final (e.g., JEP-0045 and JEP-0060), and deprecate XEPs that people are not using (e.g., JEP-0013). It didn't quite work out that way.
Why I'm Running Again
I'm running for Council again because I think I've done a good job of pushing the Council in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006, and I think I can do that again for 2006-2007.
