Difference between revisions of "Peter Saint-Andre for Council 2008"

I've been involved with the Jabber community since late 1999. I've been the [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/editor.shtml 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 since 2004.

Although XMPP is becoming increasingly popular, we have not necessarily made a lot of progress on protocol extensions. Jingle is not quite complete (but should be soon based on work at the 5th XMPP Summit), the revised XMPP RFCs are not done yet, etc. This is frustrating to me because I [Peter_Saint-Andre_for_Council_2007 promised] that we would finish that work in 2007 or 2008. In fact, my list of what I think are the current priorities (finish Jingle, publish revised RFCs, define end-to-end encryption, fix file transfer, more some stable XEPs from Draft to Final) is the same now as it was a year ago! So clearly the Council needs to be more focused in 2008-2009.
