We looked at the latest FreedomBox "Danube Edition" and found that it looked super sexy and "like an Apple product", as one of the participants put it. Functions include:
1. "Known" personal blogging service (support for IndieWeb protocols) 2. "OwnCloud" for personal file storage 3. "RemoteStorage" for Unhosted applications 4. XDI and RDF 5. Tor, VPN 6. etc. Besides looking at the tech, we also discussed business and marketing opportunities.
