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 XMPP protocol design contributions and services.
He is a member of the XMPP Council that oversees the standards development process at the XMPP Standards Foundation, former developer at Jaiku and now working for the Dutch company Mediamatic Lab, where he works on federating social networks and content management systems.
Ralph keeps a weblog and life stream.
