Title: May 19th - The Open Discussion Day - Use Jabber Post by: christos on May 17, 2006, 13:51:49 pm Have you ever imagined what would Internet be without an open email protocol ?
Each provider would have his own email protocol. People with an @yahoo.com address would only be able to speak with @yahoo.com addresses, @bigcompany.com would only be able to exchange with @bigcompany.com and so on. In order to speak with all your friends, you will have between 5 and 10 different addresses. Each address would require his own client ! 10 mail clients ! Hopefully, some free and non-official clients would support multiple protocols. Or try to support them after a massive reverse engineering work... Guess what ? This is exactly the instant messaging world we are living in... Sadly... That's why this Friday 19th of May will be the first Open Discussion Day. During this day, we ask you to not use any proprietary protocol (MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo). Warn your contacts the day before and propose them to open a Jabber account on Google Talk (ask for an invitation), on Fritalk or any other Jabber server in a country near you. This first Open Discussion Day is dedicated to the memory of Peter Millard. Open your network, open the discussion ! http://ploum.frimouvy.org/?2006/05/17/107-the-captive-clown http://ploum.frimouvy.org/?2006/04/06/103-may-19th-the-open-discussion-day-19-mai Title: Απ: May 19th - The Open Discussion Day - Use Jabber Post by: bakeneko on May 17, 2006, 14:00:07 pm rattleheadgr@jaim.at το jabber μου :P
