About this session
I’m envisioning a brainstorming session around an audacious question: can we build an open source and cooperatively-run alternative to proprietary cloud platforms? One that can provide end-users with guarantees of transparency, privacy and control? And is capable of Internet-scale resilience and growth so it can compete with the largest corporations?
Areas to explore: How should privacy and user rights be defined and secured ? What is the criteria for choosing applications? What open source and open data licenses should be used? How to do you balance competing interests?
Goals of this session
-
Develop shared understandings of the needs and wants of potential users and developers.
-
Find developers of open source applications that could be candidates for running on a platform like this.
-
Connect participants with shared goals and passions around this topic.
