[citation needed] Miller began developing software on his farm in Iowa.

][citation needed] He began working on Jabber in 1998, and later released jabberd, the first implementation of an XMPP server, on January 4, 1999.

[3] The release of jabberd 1.0 in May 2000, including protocols for real-time XML streaming by Jeremie Miller and the open-source community, were the basis for XMPP when it was standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force in RFC 3920 and RFC 3921 during October 2004.

[2][3][5] Variations of XMPP based on Miller's work have since been adopted by WhatsApp, Kik Messenger, and Zoom (software).
