Waqas Hussain Application 2015

I'm Waqas Hussain, and I'm reapplying for XSF membership. I've been a member of the XSF since 2008, and have been active in the community and standards process throughout this period.

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
• I've been working on a number of other interesting projects, but they are not public yet

Specifications

• I find myself listed in the acknowledgments section of the three XMPP RFCs (xmpp-core, xmpp-im, xmpp-address)
• I'm an author of XEP-0227: Portable Import/Export Format for XMPP-IM Servers, and acknowledged in many others

Community

• I can usually be found hanging around in the JDev and Prosody 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
• I'm interested in contributing to existing XEPs, as well as in writing and implementing some new ones

Contact

Same as last year:

• Ping me over jabber: waqas at prosody dot im
• Send me an email: waqas20 at gmail dot com
• Or you can just poke me in the JDev or Prosody rooms
