Freedombox
Hier ein wichtiger Hinweis!
Eben Moglen, Professor der Columbia Law School und Gründer des Software Freedom Law Center hat die Freedomboxfoundation gegründet, um ein Paket an freier Software zusammenzustellen, womit freie, persönliches Privatserver betrieben werden können, die sich über´s Internet zu einem grossen, sicheren, virtuellen Cluster vernetzen.
Meldung von Netzpolitik.org:
Worum geht es überhaupt? Freedom Boxes werden kleine stromsparende Privat-Server (‘plug server‘) sein, die man einfach zu Hause stehen hat, und auf denen dezentrale soziale Netzwerke wie zum Beispiel Diaspora oder Statusnet, eigene Mailserver etc. laufen sollen, um das Internet und unsere Nutzung wieder so dezentral zu organisieren, wie es sich für ein demokratisches Medium gehört. Die Nutzer bekommen so wieder autonome Kontrolle über Ihre Daten, und das Netz wird unanfällig gegen Zensur.
Die konkreten Ziele des Projekts sind:
All das gibt es natürlich schon. Jetzt soll es aber einfach und nutzerfreundlich gemacht, und in die Wohnzimmer der Menschen als Selbstverständlichkeit Einzug erhalten. Natürlich soll alle Software Open Source sein.
Eben Moglen über Facebook:
a very poor deal, namely 'I will give you free web-hosting and some PHP doodads and you get spying for free all the time'. And it works.
.. über den Status quo der Meinungsfreiheit
Where we Live Now [32:58]: "So where we live has become a place in which it would be very unwise to say about anything that it isn't known if you are pretty widely known in the net ... and all of us are pretty known in the net. We want to live there. It is our neighborhood. We just don't want to live with a video camera on every tree and a microphone on every bush and a data miner beneath our feet everywhere we walk, and the net's like that now."

Who Could Run a Web Server of Their Own and Keep the Logs? [38:00]: "So what do we need? We need a really good web server that you can put in your pocket and plug in any place. It shouldn't be any larger than the charger for your cellphone. You should be able to plug it into any power jack in the world or sync it up with any wi-fi router that happens to be in this neighborhood ... It should have a couple of USB ports that attach it to things. It should know how to bring itself up; how to start its web server; how to go and collect your stuff from all the social networking places you've got it. It should know how to send an encrypted backup of everything to your friends' servers. It should know how to micro-blog, It should now how to make some noise that's like tweet but doesn't infringe on anyone's trademark. It should know how to ... be your avatar in a free net that works for you and keeps the logs. You can always tell what's happening in your server and if anybody else wants to know they can get a search warrant.
"This is stuff we've got. We need to put it together ... I'm not talking about stuff that's hard for us. We need to make a free software distribution guys. We need to give a bunch to all of our friends and say, 'fool around with this and make it better.' We need to do the thing we are already really good at, because all the rest of is done. In the bag, cheap, ready. Those wall wart servers are $99 now, going to $79. When there are 5 million of them, they'll be $29.99. Then we go to people and we say, "$29.99 once, for a lifetime. Great social networking, updates automatically, software so strong you couldn't knock it over if you kicked it, and you know what, you get 'no spying' for free. We can do that ... When there is a competitor to 'all spying, all the time, whether you like it or not', the competition is going to do really well. Don't expect Google to be the competitor. That's a platform. What we need is to make a thing so greasy that there will never be another social networking platform again ... It's well within our reach. Are we going to do it before the Facebook IPO or after?"
Wer ne Kreditkarte hat kann das Projekt hier unterstützen! Ich habe aber schon nach alternativen Zahlungsmöglichkeiten angefragt.
