0px; padding: 1px 0px; cursor: auto;">Today we launch the Debian
OTR team. OTR stands for "Off-the-Record" messaging which
provides encryption, authentication, deniability and perfect
forward secrecy. The team was started by various maintainers of
software that feature "OTR" support. OTR is used for instant
messaging. It adds an encryption layer over existing instant
messaging protocols like Jabber and IRC and is implemented in
several instant messaging clients, which we aim to support and
maintain in Debian.</span></div>

is important that Debian provides encryption to those who want
to protect their communications. OTR is one of the protocols
that is relatively easy to use for end-users. Its end-to-end
encryption makes it harder for attackers to decrypt the
communication between two parties.</span></div>

it is to work effectively together, peer-review each other's
work and encourage people to step in and work together on the
OTR ecosystem and OTR upstream.</span></div>
