managed to miss the boat on DecentralizeCamp ( http://decentralizecamp.com/ ), I was wondering if tracking interesting events/conferences would be a useful thing for redecentralize.org to do? We started on the Wiki to try and list groups that were either in progress, or being born, but didn’t get very

Chromebook-toting, Android-wielding fanboy. Although Reader wasn't the first Google service pulled out from under me, I vowed it would be the last one. I've since cancelled my Google account and have replaced almost all of the Google services I used with self-hosted solutions that

netwerk and distribute the content. While Twister is limited to microblogging functionality Zeronet aims to setup all kind of services and websites. I would like to hear your comments

sync/backup? What problems stop you using any such tool and mean you fall back to Dropbox or Crashplan?    I would love it if other people run similar sessions on the other tools people most want (see survey on Redecentralize.org homepage) eg on state of instant messaging

university/commercial level talk [no discussion of scaling-up, heavyweight discussion of parsers, tokenisers etc.] it's for people that want to start/know-a-little-more So would anyone be interested in hearing/engaging with this? Otherwise I can sit back and listen to a whole host if interesting stuff, my original plan

France for a one-day conference in June, and that didn't seem worth it, but maybe combining that with this one would have been worth it.... Or maybe not. Travel is so expensive in the summer. Reading about the centralization of this mailing list, I recall that

Would love feedback, and also ideas of decentralized apps you can *actually use* - not just prototypes, or platforms without apps, or things without installers on major platforms. Best

services. Facebook, Google and Twitter sit on top of several layers of mostly-decentralised infrastructure. Since you're building infrastructure, I wonder whether it would be more useful to look at how centralisation vs decentralisation plays out at layers 2-4, rather than looking at the fully-centralised businesses that

seems like you should be able to use any of the usual name resolution methods like DNS instead of using IP addresses. The names would only work for people with the software installed but so do the IP addresses. On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 6:17 PM, Adam Ierymenko

Naturally we can't buy speakers airfares, but we can find a couch you can crash on. If you have some radical ideas that would never work on the stage of a normal tech conference this is the place for you. http://squatconf.eu submit a proposal here:  https://github.com

Website is also looking good - clear value propositions and benefits and actions for download etc. I would love some example case studies to see - what is possible, how someone has benefited that I might identify with.
