[Lancaster] buddycloud

[andy baxter]

Hi all,

I'm writing to let people know I've recently set up a server on the 
buddycloud network. This is a project to provide an alternative to 
facebook and similar 'walled garden' social networking services that is 
based on open protocols, free software, and a hacker ethic. See:
http://buddycloud.com/ and https://buddycloud.org/wiki/Main_Page for 
more details about the project. I've also written a page here:

http://highfellow.org/buddycloud:start

saying a bit about the project, and about the server node I've installed.

It would be great to have this used and tested, so if you would like a 
login, please email me with a brief intro and I will most likely be 
happy to set one up.

If you do want to join, please understand that the buddycloud software 
is still in an early release stage, so some features may be missing, I 
may have to take it down unexpectedly at certain times, and I can give 
no guarantee that data will not be lost or stolen. This is a hobby 
project for me, and I am not providing a commercial service, so I also 
reserve the right to delete or suspend anyone's account if I decide 
that's necessary.
