History
My journey with XMPP started around a decade ago while looking for alternatives to limited proprietary solutions available at that time. I stumbled against Jabber/XMPP and after some digging quickly figured out that it was what I was looking for - open, extensible and interoperable. At the beginning I mostly concentrated on user side, promotion of protocol wherever I could as well as providing helping hand to whomever needed such. A few years ago - 2010, I become involved with Tigase and I am till this day. In 2011 I attended XMPP Summit in Brussels, Belgium.
XMPP Related Activities
Most of my current activities revolve mostly around server side Tigase:
- finding and fixing bugs thus improving compatibility with XMPP specs and general interoperability;
- building, packaging, releasing; nightly builds;
- Tigase Test Suite work - test cases, automatic daily tests;
- administration of tigase.im and tigase.org servers;
- promotion and help with XMPP;
XMPP - Why I like it
I like XMPP because of it's openness and flexibility which allows freely choose from abundance of software (both server as well as client) and services without sacrificing interoperability. It also allows contributing back.
Plans for a future
Keep on doing what I do in relation to Tigase bringing constant improvements and more; moreover creation of ObjC library and based on it, client for iOS.
