Until 2004 I was not a member of the Jabber Council because, well, power corrupts -- I didn't want to have the power of the JEP Editor, Executive Director, and Council Chair. However, in 2004 I ran for Council, was elected by the membership of the JSF, and was selected as Chair by the fourth Council. My program then was to "crack the whip" and get lots of protocols finished. I think the fourth Council has been quite productive, especially after the winter holidays (at least in the northern hemisphere), when past Councils have usually stopped working. | Until 2004 I was not a member of the Jabber Council because, well, power corrupts -- I didn't want to have the power of the JEP Editor, Executive Director, and Council Chair (see my [http://www.jabber.org/council/candidates/2004/Peter_Saint-Andre.shtml Council 2004 page]).

Naturally we also have some work to do on finishing up some existing protocols (avatars, roster item exchange, SOAP over XMPP, etc.), but most of those are close to completion. I'd also like to see us develop a stable protocol for shared roster groups (building on JEP-0144), but I think that will be fairly easy compared to vCard++ and e2e encryption. | Naturally we also have some work to do on finishing up some existing protocols (avatars, roster item exchange, SOAP over XMPP, etc.), but most of those are close to completion.

It's important that the Council stay productive. That doesn't necessarily mean publishing a lot of JEPs -- code is more important than protocol -- but it does mean publishing the right JEPs and trying to push them through the JSF standards process as quickly as we can. I'm running for Council again because I think I've done a good job of pushing the Council in 2004-2005, and I can do that again for 2005-2006. | |||
