Re: Federated object storage with access control and event subscribtion

Hi Felix -

buddycloud does exactly this: share media between different users on
different domains.

channel: cat-pictures@example.com
has followers:
  cat-woman@example.org,
  cat-guy@example.net
  cat-kid@example.com.

Any of them can upload and share media in cat-pictures@example.com and one
another will have access.

Permissioning is negotiated via XMPP, content is delivered via HTTP.

Happy to help answer anymore questions you might have (we are in Germany
too).

S.
