Hi Henry, > Have you thought of using the Freedom Box as a device to help focus your effort? > > http://freedomboxfoundation.org/ Thanks for the pointer! We share some goals with several other de-centralisation oriented initiatives such as Diaspora*, Pagekite, Unhosted or OwnCloud. Freedombox was not part of this list yet but is surely a worthwhile addition. The specific focus on this workshop is set on Semantic Web technologies and we will apply them to educational software during the hacking session. However, this workshop is organised in the context of a larger initiative of bringing (Open Linked) data sharing to people that currently don't have access to it. The site http://worldwidesemanticweb.wordpress.com/ has been created has a common space to think around this goal. Everyone working on related topics, including all these previously mentioned projects, is very welcome to come at the workshop to present their ideas and are also welcome to contribute to the blog later on.
