Jérôme Poisson (aka Goffi) is a devoted Free Software developer, currently leading the Libervia communication ecosystem project. With over 15 years in the XMPP community, he has made significant contributions to FOSS communication technologies. His work on Libervia, an all-in-one, multi-platform XMPP client, underscores his dedication to enhancing digital communication tools.

Jérôme is an elected member of the XMPP Council for the 2024/2025 term.

Jérôme's career has spanned various roles, from software development for set-top boxes to creating FOSS tools for journalists. Recently, he developed an XMPP <=> ActivityPub gateway, fostering unity among open protocols for broader communication possibilities. Supported by a grant from NLnet/Next Generation Internet European commission, he is now focusing on XMPP/Python consulting and freelance development.

Mindful of the social and ecological impacts of technology, Jérôme integrates ethical considerations into his work. In his personal life, he enjoys Franco-Belgian comics, board games, and Belgian beers.

Looking forward, Jérôme aims to expand his consulting work around Libervia, advancing it as a universal, decentralized, and ethically-built communication tool.
