XMPP Standars Foundation

前提：学习xmpp协议的过程中，看着官方的资料，突然想整理下来，也顺便锻炼锻炼自我的英语，虽然已经有http://www.jabbercn.org翻译计划，但我还是想自己试试看，可能翻译会有错，以后学习深入了，会更新！

XMPP Standards Foundation
xmpp标准化基金会

The XMPP Standards Foundation (formerly the Jabber Software Foundation) is an independent, nonprofit standards development organization whose primary mission is to define open protocols for presence, instant messaging, and real-time communication and collaboration on top of the IETF’s Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). The XSF also provides information and infrastructure to the worldwide community of Jabber/XMPP developers, service providers, and end users.
xmpp标准化基金会（原来是Jabber软件基金会）是一个独立的，非盈利的标准化开发组织，致力于为出席协议，即时消息和实时会话定义一个开源的协议，并且在IETF的可拓展的消息协议和出席协议上合作。同时，xmpp标准化基金会也为全球的Jabber/xmpp开发者社区，服务提供商和用户提供了信息和基础架构。

At the core of the XSF is its elected Membership who, in turn, elect a Council (the technical leadership) and Board (the business leadership). If you have an interest in XMPP, it is straightforward to become a Member of the XSF.
xmpp标准化基金会的核心就是轮流推选委员会（技术领导）和董事会（商业领导）的成员资格。如果你对xmpp有兴趣，直接去成为xmpp标准化基金会的成员吧。

Although our elected members and self-selected sponsors provide a legal and financial basis for the organization, the XSF not a closed industry consortium but instead is a completely open and transparent standards development organization in which any interested individual may freely participate. Furthermore, our developer-friendly standards process avoids design by committee and places a premium on the values that built the Internet in the first place: rough consensus and running code. For further information about the XSF and the xmpp.org website, visit any of the following:
虽然我们选出来的成员和自我选择的赞助商共同提供了一个合法的，并且具有经济基础的组织，xmpp标准化基金会并不是一个封闭的产业联盟，反而是一个几乎完全开放的，透明的，任何人有兴趣都可以参加的标准化开发组织。此外，我们的友好的开发者标准流程避免了只有委员会的设计，并且重视把互联网放在第一的价值观：基本的共识和运行的代码。要获取更多关于xmpp和官方网页的的信息，请浏览以下的网页：
