Status and future of OpenEFA?

Post by MauriceW67 »

Hi!

Can anyone who is in the know let us know what's going on with OpenEFA?

The free community edition seems to have disappeared from the main page together with the GitHub page that hosted the install script.

Can we still expect the free community edition to be released in the near future?

The main page seems awfully commercial to me right now.

It would be a shame if this initiative to create a worthy successor of eFA would die a silent death...

Quite surprised that there is no response at all.

@adrastosefa and @Carl Brunning What is going on?

As you can see on the website Blog it is still offered commercialized with BIG wordings.

In the FAQ you will find:

"Open" means transparent. OpenEFA is a proprietary, commercial platform — but we believe security works best when customers can see exactly what's happening to their email.

They have taken the name, the platform and tried to catch the userbase...
So OSS is gone and we have to search for another solution. :x
