Nowadays, most of the Internet communications are done on large, private and commercial networks. It's no scoop that they sell our informations to publicists or sometimes to governments (cf. the Snowden file). This situation is problematic on several aspects: private life, censorship, surveillance, etc.


''"We (with a friend living in Wien ..) are working on a big XMPP social network (well more about a swiss knife) which can be of interest I think for people attending metalab: it's a really advanced use of XMPP  (far more than instant messaging), can be used as a basis for other projects, can be used even in electronic, and we have a strong focus on ethic. <br /><br />I'll be in Wien this week, so I would try to come and do a demo/talk with people interested in it, for example on thursday.<br /><br /> The url of the project if you want to have a look: http://salut-a-toi.org/ "'' --[[User:Goffi|Goffi]]
We are organised around an association trying to improve our way of communicating. Our project allows to exchange like the other social networks with your contacts, but without any advertisement, in respect of your privacy and exclusively through free software. Moreover, it can be used as a base to develop more specific features (eg. car sharing, hospitality network) or controlling electronic devices (IoT, ad-hoc commands...).


<br /><br />
Salut à Toi is a multipurpose tool featuring messaging, blogging, files and pictures sharing, real-time chat. But it's above all an ethical project driven by a social contract, which thinks about human being before the technology.
 
The project's stage is already well advanced, we are missing yet some months of development to offer an end-user version, installable and usable by everybody.
 
Salut à Toi is organised around 3 axes:
 
    Software: several frontends (including the web interface Libervia) allow to communicate like the social networks that you already know... but it's a free software, it works as a decentralised network and uses a standard protocol. These principles, which are essential to us, are detailed on our page. Last but not least, we propose some features to improve the protection of your data, for example with the "OTR" encryption mechanism.
    Ethics: a social contract has been written, this is a declaration of our moral engagement toward the users and persons supporting us. We have decided to organise ourselves as a non profit and self-managed association. We try to protect the project against any "drift" - also from ourselves.
    Thoughts: we state that technology is not neutral, and that the way a tool is made will influence its usage. We take the time to think about each feature that we add, its impact, and more generally about the roles of the new media.
 
We are now about to start the development of a new frontend that will run both on desktops and Android devices.

Salut à Toi

Multipurpose, multi frontend, libre and decentralised communication tool.

Nowadays, most of the Internet communications are done on large, private and commercial networks. It's no scoop that they sell our informations to publicists or sometimes to governments (cf. the Snowden file).
