I'm Waqas Hussain, and I'm reapplying for XSF membership.
For details on me, and the how and why of my getting involved, see my previous application.
Projects this year
- I've mainly been involved in the Prosody project
- I've implemented XMPP-IM, as well as dozens of XEPs in Prosody, including MUC, PEP, vCards, XML-RPC, service discovery, etc.
- IdentiChat, which was never formally released, but sees a fair number of users
- I've been working on a number of other interesting projects, but they are not public yet
XEPs
- I'm now an author of XEP-0227: Portable Import/Export Format for XMPP-IM Servers
- I also find myself listed in the acknowledgments section of a couple of XEPs
Community
- I can usually be found hanging around in the JDev and Jabber rooms, frequently rendering assistance to new users
- I'm also relatively active on the various XMPP mailing lists, arguing about this and that
Future plans
- I'll continue to work on Prosody; we have some pretty interesting plans for upcoming versions
- A new and improved version of IdentiChat is in the works
- I'm interested in contributing to existing XEPs, as well as in writing and implementing some new ones
- I've been spending time on some testing and performance tools
- BOSH is fun to play with, and I've been working on several web applications
- If I tried listing all my plans, I'll miss the application submission deadline
