I am old software engineer. I come from Poland. Apart from my professional job I used to participate to a few open source projects: [http://www.geotools.org GeoTools], [http://generguide.sourceforge.net/ GenerGuide], [http://wttools.sourceforge.net WTTools] and the last one, Jabber/XMPP related: [http://www.tigase.org Tigase]. Most of my professional work was around implementation of network servers and network protocols. | I am old school software engineer. I come from Poland.

In addition to software development work I also wrote a few articles about working with Emacs, Java and XML: "[http://wttools.sourceforge.net/emacs-stuff/emacsandjdee.html Emacs and JDEE]", "[http://wttools.sourceforge.net/emacs-stuff/emacsandxml.html Tools and methods for XML]" and "[http://wttools.sourceforge.net/emacs-stuff/basicxml.html Editing XML files]". | In addition to software development work I also wrote a few articles about working with Emacs, Java and XML: "[http://wttools.sourceforge.net/emacs-stuff/emacsandjdee.html Emacs and JDEE]", "[http://wttools.sourceforge.net/emacs-stuff/emacsandxml.html Tools and methods for XML]" and "[http://wttools.sourceforge.net/emacs-stuff/basicxml.html Editing XML files]". | ||

Ages ago I found information about new IM protocol - Jabber. As that was (and still is?) the first fully open protocol and the idea about distributed IM network seemed very interesting I started to use it. After some time, using Jabber client was not enough for me. I decided I want to have my own server installed. | Ages ago I found information about new IM protocol - Jabber.

Once I was working on my Jabber/XMPP project alone for a long time which is not good, now there are a few of us, the Tigase Team. I would like to share my ideas with the community and receive feedback from other people working on similar goals. I dedicated much of my time to Tigase project development and I would like to also actively participate in developing ideas around that technology. | |||
I think this is the right time to attract more people to Jabber community as now we have excellent client applications which are far ahead of commercial alternatives. | I think this is the right time to attract more people to Jabber community as now we have excellent client applications which are far ahead of commercial alternatives. | ||
