Session
Software history is full of proprietary vendors uses APIs and defacto standards as supremacy tools.
Un-coordianted changes in the specification, unfair advantages, lack of performant alternatives.. Those are poisons for inter-operability.
At LINAGORA we strongly believe that Software sovereignty needs to be based on OpenSource and that true OpenSource is based on OpenStandards. This talk will present our journey to modernize openStandards to do Email.
What issues we encountered with IMAP ?
How we helped normalizing JMAP, a modern alternative to IMAP?
