I think I need to go back and read the article again, just wondering if Diaspora is any part of it...

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your interest in my proposal.

The phase 1, if it actually happens, _may_ conclude that percloud should include/reuse Diaspora or parts of it. However, percloud is a completely _separate_ proposal/project, with a different focus and, above all, attitude. Please see the "What about the FreedomBox, Diaspora..." FAQ at http://per-cloud.com for the details.

I'm quite interested, I assure you. Thank you for the pointer, I missed that one.

Edit: I see that my point about Diaspora being possibly only a part of the whole is obvious to everyone, and I'm not adding anything to the discussion.

One of my disappointments with Diaspora is that it didn't end up being as easily distributed as the original thrust entailed. I don't want to log into someone else's machine, I want to peer my own server with other's servers.

"I want to peer my own server with other's servers."

This would happen by federation via pump.io and/or similar standards. Studying how to actually implement /integrate that would be one of the bigger part of phase 1, if it gets funded.

Bob, and everybody else interested in this: I just put online this 10-slides explanation of how the percloud would work. Feedback is very welcome, of course:
