[HacktionLab] Diaspora - The privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all distributed open source social network.

[Sam UK]

Hi All

Not sure that anyone has mentioned this on here yet..

"We think we can replace today's centralized social web with a more secure
and convenient decentralized network. Diaspora will be easy to use, and it
will be centered on you instead of a faceless hub."

Basic project details

• full-fledged communications between Seeds (Diaspora instances)
• complete PGP encryption

Second sprint

Infinity & beyond
