I agree. Matt and his team are very active in the community helping others implement Prosody and make use of XMPP. He even took the time to provide me with helpful feedback a few years ago[1] when I took my first steps with XMPP.
If you're into listening to podcasts, I highly recommend Sean Haas's Advent of Computing podcast, which bills itself as "the show that talks about the shocking, intriguing, and all too often relevant history of computing."
