Initiatives
A list of "cloud" services and their free alternatives is available from the FreedomBox Project and Libre Projects
Social Networks
decentralised social networking platform, based on XMPP, and developed by the Vodafone R&D group
- a location based, mobile social community
- uses XMPP and OStatus
- XMPP based distributed social network that can be used with existing jabber accounts
- another decentralised social network
- defines the social network and some basic content types like media, links, micropublishing and text
OStatus-based software that works with WordPress and BuddyPress to create a decentralized federated social networking platform
- social networking engine that was initially aimed at educational and learning groups, but has now entered general use
- a initiative to build a distributed social network architecture using microformats, OpenID, OAuth and other building blocks
- decentralised, social platform as a web application framework allowing others to create social apps on top of it
Protocols
- A simple, open, server-to-server web-hook-based pubsub (publish/subscribe) protocol as an extension to Atom and RSS.
Easy to understand video introduction in non-free format from youtube
- A secure way to access address books and friends lists
uses existing standards wherever possible, including vCard, OpenSocial, XRDS-Simple, OAuth, etc.
- a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards
Wiki to collect results of Federated Social Web Summit including Social Web Acid Test
Collaboration
- allows to create multiple collaborative group, webspace, community or social networking websites
- people can connect to a group to contribute using OpenID
Graphics
distributed replacement for Flickr, DeviantArt, Picasa etc.
- might be extended from images to video, music etc. later on
- Python, OStatus
Sound
GNU FM (official node: LibreFM)
- distributed replacement for Last.FM
- for social aspects, it will depend on GNU Social (or other compatible solution)
- Fripost is a democratic organisation providing free and reliable email service to its members. It was founded by Fellows in Göteborg.
Voice and Video over IP
- decentralized SIP extension with planned GUI configuration
- supports standard secure SIP clients
Microblogging
Web Storage
- replacement for Dropbox/Wuala/Box.net/etc. based on distributed version control systems
- nearly instantaneous mutual updates/syncronization
- can be used with any DVCS hosting option including a completely separate server
Freedom Boxes
Please note that the following initiatives include commercial hardware vendors and might include non-free software.
- a Debian based platform for distributed applications
- designed to be hosted on a small-size server
- will install mail, jabber and web servers
- easily create a blog, or a social network, in a decentralized and interconnected way
FeeAgent Dockstar (ships with non-free software)
Different Approaches
- an unhosted website is only source code running in browser
- dynamic data is encrypted and decentralised to per-user storage nodes
- website uses protocol to securely retrieve information from storage node
