I am working on a collection of software to run small,medium, and large sized organic farms/permaculture installations, provide automation, sensing, etc. (to be released) I am writing some of the applications in erlang, and so a network of Freedom Boxes could handle data gathering. Possibly recording to data grid such as iRODS. Sensor networks and accompanying applications could benefit from both Jabber and AMQP via RabbitMQ. I've also considered using a cluster of freedom boxes as a Eucalyptus "cloud" for the aforementioned applications. > > I want to use it as: > > - A Jabber Server. > > - A replacement for DropBox (a file storage / synchronization system). > > - A wiki/Evernote replacement (for all those crazy ideas I want to write > down somewhere). > > Anybody else? > > _______________________________________________ > Freedombox-discuss mailing list > Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss -- -- Sam Rose Hollymead Capital Partners, LLC Cel: +1-(517)-974-6451 email: samuel.r...@gmail.com http://hollymeadcapital.com http://p2pfoundation.net http://socialmediaclassroom.com "The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition." - Carl Sagan _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
