As the pandemic grew worse, this gave way to more > curiosity about how the Free Software Foundation (FSF) uses free tools and > free communication platforms to conduct our everyday business. And while > the stereotype of hackers hunched over a white on black terminal session > applies to us in some ways, many of the tools we use are available in any > environment, even for people who do not have a lot of technical experience. > We've started documenting ethical solutions on the LibrePlanet wiki > <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Remote_Communication>, in addition to > starting a remote communication mailing list > <https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/remotecommunication> to > help each other advocate for their use. > > In the suggestions that follow, a few of the tools we will recommend > depend upon some "self-reliance," that is, steering clear of proprietary > network services by hosting free software solutions yourself, or asking a > technical friend to do it for you.

Though we may still be waiting for a truly > perfect solution, there are some projects that are far enough along in > their development that we can recommend them to others. > Audio calls > > - > > *Mumble <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Mumble>*: Mumble is a > real-time, low latency program for hosting and joining audio conversations. > Clients are available for every major operating system, and even large > rooms tend not to put too much stress on the network. When it was time for > us to go fully remote, the FSF staff turned to Mumble as a way to have that > "in-office" feel, staying in touch in rooms dedicated to each of our teams > and a general purpose "water cooler" room. > - > > *Asterisk/SIP <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Asterisk>*: When we give > tours of the FSF office, people often think we're joking when we mention > that even the FSF's *conference phones* run free software. But through > Asterisk and our use of the SIP protocol, it's entirely true. Although it > can be difficult to set up, it's worth mentioning that free software can > manage your traditional phone lines, and even transfer calls seamlessly to > digital extensions or SIP clients like Jami > <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Jami> and Linphone > <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Linphone>. > > Video calls and presentations > > - > > *Jitsi <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Jitsi>*: Jitsi was a key part > of LibrePlanet 2020's success. Providing video and voice calls through the > browser via WebRTC, it also allows for presenters to share their screen in > a similar way to Zoom. And unlike Zoom, it doesn't come with serious > privacy > violations > > <https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/k7e599/zoom-ios-app-sends-data-to-facebook-even-if-you-dont-have-a-facebook-account> > or threats to user freedom. The connection between callers is direct and > intuitive, but a central server is still required to coordinate callers and > rooms. Some of these, like the Jitsi project's own "Jitsi Meet" server, > recommend proprietary browser extensions and document sharing tools. If > you're able, hosting your own instance is the most free and reliable > method. > - > > *OBS*: Another much-used software program this LibrePlanet was OBS > Studio <https://obsproject.com/>. Illness, different timezones, or > unforeseen travel were no match for the solutions that OBS Studio offered. > It's a flexible tool for streaming video from multiple inputs to a Web > source, whether that's combining your webcam with conference slides, or > even your favorite free software game. At LibrePlanet, OBS allowed our > remote speakers to record their presentations while speaking in one screen, > and sharing audiovisual materials in a second window. > > Text chat > > - > > *XMPP*: If you've ever used "Jabber," older iterations of Google Talk > or Facebook Messenger, then you've used XMPP. XMPP is a flexible and > extensible instant messaging protocol that's lately seen a resurgence from > clients like Conversations.im > <https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.siacs.conversations/> and > encryption schema like OMEMO <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMEMO>. > XMPP is the instant messaging method we prefer at the FSF when we need to > discuss something privately, or in a secure group chat, as everything is > sent through servers we control and encrypted against individual staff > members' private key. Also, access to the FSF XMPP server is one of the > many benefits of our associate membership program > <https://fsf.org/join>. > - > > *IRC <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Irc>*: Messaging services have > become all the rage in office atmospheres, but nothing about Messenger or > Slack is new. In fact, Slack (and its counterpart for video games, Discord) > takes more than a few cues from the venerable Internet Relay Chat (IRC). > IRC remains an enduring way to have a text-based chat in real-time, and as > evidenced by Web clients like The Lounge <https://thelounge.chat/>, or > desktop clients like Pidgin <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Pidgin>, > it can be as stripped down or feature-rich as you like. For a true hacker > experience, you can also log into IRC using Emacs > <https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/erc/index.html>. > > Long-form discussion > > - > > *Encrypted email*: While it's asynchronous and maybe the most "old > school" item on our list, GPG-encrypted email is a core part of the FSF > workflow, and helps guard against prying eyes, whether they're one room > over or in an NSA compound across the country. The initial setup can > sometimes be a challenge, which is why we provide the Email > Self-Defense Guide <https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org> to get you up > and running. > - > > *Discourse*: Discourse <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Discourse> is > the message board software that powers the FSF associate member forum > <https://forum.members.fsf.org/>, and we couldn't be happier to > recommend it. While the concept may seem a little antiquated, message > boards remain a good way to coordinate discussions on a particular topic. > Discourse's moderation tools are intuitive and easy to use, and it even > includes achievements for users to earn! > > Document Sharing > > If you're unused to working remotely, finding ways to collaborate with > others on a document or presentation can be a challenge. At the FSF, > Etherpad <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Etherpad> is the main tool that > we use to keep live meeting notes and work together on other documents. It > provides all the features you need for quick collaboration, including > comments, revision tracking, and exports to a variety of formats. You can > host your own instance, or you can select an instance made available > <https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Sites-that-run-Etherpad-Lite> > by others and start sharing. > File Sharing > > At the FSF office, we have a common server to store our files. Not > everyone has the luxury of a setup like that, and especially not due to the > fast changeover from office to home. To avoid using proprietary "solutions" > and disservices like Dropbox, you can turn to the widely popular Nextcloud > <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Nextcloud> to synchronize your text and > email messages, share calendars with coworkers, and exchange files > privately with your friends. > > If you need something temporary, there's always Up1 > <https://github.com/Upload/Up1>. Up1 is a temporary, encrypted text and > image sharing program you can host locally, making sure those files you > need to exchange are only there for just as long as it takes for your > friend to download them. And while we don't use it ourselves, we've heard > good things about the Riseup <https://riseup.net> network's instance > <https://share.riseup.net> of Up1, and will occasionally suggest it to > those wanting a quick and easy way to share files while retaining their > freedom. > Conclusion > > This is just a small selection of the huge amount of free software out > there, all ready to be used, shared, and improved by the community. For > more suggestions on both local and Web-based programs, visit the FSF's Free > Software Directory <https://directory.fsf.org>, our volunteer-run wiki > which aims to be a comprehensive list of the thousands of free programs > available for everyday use. > > As always, free software is a moving target. We reap as much as the > community puts into it, and as more and more attention shifts to the crisis > caused by the novel coronavirus, the tools themselves are likely to see an > increased amount of development.
