Ralph Meijer has been involved with the Jabber/XMPP community since late 2000 and has worked on prototyping new ideas in presenting and communicating information using Jabber. Most of these experiments revolve around publish-subscribe technologies for transporting information like extended presence and news, and have resulted in several Jabber protocol design contributions and services. As member of the Jabber Software Foundation he actively evangelizes Jabber by giving presentations and running booths at conferences. He is currently member of the Jabber Council, that oversees the JSF's standards process, and keeps a weblog at http://ralphm.net/blog/.
