Jack Moffitt is a computer scientist, software developer and entrepreneur. He is co-author of the GNU GPL licensed streaming media server Icecast[1][2] and often works on software using XMPP, JavaScript and Erlang. He also worked as executive director of Xiph.Org Foundation[3][4] and developer of Ogg Vorbis project.[5] Moffitt's work with Erlang has made him a regular presenter at the Erlang Factory conference series.

While working on Chesspark.com[9] Moffit led the development team that created Strophe - a library for writing XMPP clients, implemented in JavaScript and C for developers of XMPP applications.[10] Moffit's team also released several other open source projects related to XMPP.
In November 2008 Moffitt co-founded Collecta, a real-time search company which uses XMPP, including the Strophe library, for communication between the client and server.[11] Collecta launched its public beta in June 2009.[12][13] Moffitt served as CTO for Collecta until some time in late 2010 when he left the company to work on other projects.[14][15][16] Moffit's current project appears to be called Lunchbox Labs according to information on his LinkedIn profile. [17] Lunchbox Labs produced the iOS word game SnackWords. [18] [19] In 2011, Moffit's name appeared with a credit as one of the "Server Developers" for the iOS MMORPG ShadowCities produced by Grey Area Software.
Jack Moffitt also serves on the board of the XMPP Standards Foundation, or XSF.[20] Moffitt is author of a 2009 book about how to write XMPP applications, "Professional XMPP with JavaScript and jQuery" (ISBN 0470540710).[21]
