     "Structured email" A lot of email is transactional (generated by machines, not by humans, for instance your hotel reservation for FOSDEM)

     JSON-encoded machine-readable email as an alternative for AI extraction from unstructured text.

     Work at #IETF in the SML working group: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/sml/

     Business model: open standards will be "open source" [sic] but proprietary standards like Exchange will be paying addons.

     Now, another email client, a graphical on, #Parula (and it does a lot of things, besides email, like Outlook). Created from scratch.

     "Today, your friends use Gmail and, in the corporate world, Microsoft controls 80 % of email. Parula must work for corporations. Make Email Modern Again"

     Demo is nice.

     Discussion about a filtering language for aerc. Not the procmail syntax, not the standard Sieve but something new. (Inventing syntaxes is fun.)

     Demo with a HTML email and presentation with w3m (which can do a good job with SNCF emails, the room applauds).

     #aerc an email client in the terminal. Supports #JMAP!

     Autoconf from the email address (find the server, use SRV, etc)

     Should I switch from #mutt?

     25 years of #FOSDEM. Staff is searching for anecdotes, for instance, if you get married with someone met at FOSDEM. (Judging from the room, it will have a to be a same-sex marriage.)

     Network is of course #IPv6-only. (I just checked: no IPv4, not even private RFC 1918 address.)

     I won't quote the speaker, he said "open source" instead of "free software".

     Good morning, Brussels! This is the first day of #FOSDEM https://fosdem.org/2025/ The introduction talk will start soon.

     If you are not interested in free software, better to mute the hashtag this week-end :-)

     (Also #FOSDEM25 or #FOSDEM2025, which are used by some persons.)
