There's room in this for 2x30 and 3x45.
Ideas
History of the Internet ~30m
In the beginning the internet was a distributed peer to peer network. The usenet, e-mail, and other services were build to work decentralised. What can we learn from the past?
The change to centralisation ~30m
How did centralisation happen, in which fields is it happening and why? Why is this bad for Free Software and what can we do?
Alternatives
Probably 3 talks, perhaps bundled in the topics. I'll contact some people and than decide which talk we will take.
Distributed search engines: Search engines under our control. Example of Yacy (and others?) ~45m
http://yacy.net
Distributed files: GNUnet, the torrent "cloud" ~45m
(There will be either Messages and Social networks or we will put them together in once communication talk. ~45m)
Sending messages
- Distributed Messaging: E-Mail systems are not dead. Why the Free Software solution kolab is an alternative to centralised web mailers.
- Microbloging: Statusnet as solution for decentralised microblogging.
- Instant messaging: Jabber as successful example.
Social Networks
- Despora: Under development. Will contact them. http://www.joindiaspora.com
- Peerscape: developed by the Finnish research institute HIIT (http://www.hiit.fi/). According to Otto it is a stable and solid app, based on Python and the Firefox extensions is just the interface bit. http://www.peerscape.org/
- GNU Social: The GNU project for building a social network. http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/Group:GNU_Social
