Hello,<br>
<br>
We concluded the GETD event this week:<br>
<a
href="http://get-d.net/get-decentralized-san-francisco-bay-area-spring-2015/">http://get-d.net/get-decentralized-san-francisco-bay-area-spring-2015/</a><br>
<br>
I brought several of my CubieTruck-based FreedomBox prototypes.<br>
It turned out to be not so much a hackathon with a lot of
developers, rather it was a smaller gathering with presentations and
workshops and people from various backgrounds.<br>
So unfortunately we didn't really get to work on any of the TODO
items that Sunil has put together.<br>
<br>
German startup <a href="http://jolocom.com/">Jolocom</a>, who
convened the event, showed a demo of a mobile app where you can
navigate a distributed semantic data graph (using RDF / Linked Data
technology).<br>
So we installed a Linked Data server on the FreedomBoxes, and that
was the main focus of the event.<br>
We also had participation from <a href="http://riot-os.org/">RiotOS</a>,
with some discussion how data from the Internet of Things could be
controlled via a FreedomBox.<br>
<br>
I also had the pleasure to meet with:<br>
- Greg who had introduced us to <a
href="https://github.com/okTurtles/dnschain">DNSChain</a> on one
of the recent progress calls.<br>
- Ranga Krishnan of the EFF, who pointed me to <a
href="https://leap.se/">LEAP</a> as a candidate technology for
secure messaging on FreedomBox<br>
- John Light who is working on a <a
href="https://bitseed.org/product/blockchain-node-developer-version/">Bitcoin
box<br>
</a><br>
So once again it seems clear how a FreedomBox can potentially be
used for so many different purposes.<br>
Therefore I think the extensibility of Plinth and package management
(as we discussed on the last call) is becoming more and more
important.<br>
<br>
On Wednesday evening, we were invited to a party at the Internet
Archive.<br>
I had the opportunity to give a talk about FreedomBox, see here for
the recording:<br>
