| Thanks, Sylvain, these are beautiful examples for where VRM meets Indie Box.
Let's build them all, shall we? Who's in? ;-) On May 13, 2014, at 13:59, sylvain willart <

make some of the stored data serchable from the net (like a resume, a
selection of pictures, or even perhaps an anonymous description of my
flat in order not to have to rely on AirBnB, and why not a network of my
friend's Indie Boxes...)
>Tell me more about this, please?
with great pleasure,
- My resume is one three or more websites. Mine, my university's, IDEAS, HAL (and some I have forgotten). It's not a big one (I work hard to pump it up), but I would like to be able to update all of them at once.
- I rent my flat on three differents websites (AirBnB, 9 flats, Only appartments). The problem is that I have to (try to) manage three differents schedules. Those "sharing economy" websites tend to look just like another bunch of silos to me... I would like to have a description of my flat and just one calendar on my box that would be searchable from the Internet (but of course, none other personal data would appear).
- I don't have a car. So I rent one to other people when I want to hit the road (that one may look strange for US viewpoint, but it's actually a booming practice in France, many websites offer car owners the possibility to put their car on rent for a day, sometimes an hour). But I am sure many people put their cars on different websites and have the same problem.
- I would like to be able to send messages, status updates, and links to my friends (I gave up on Facebook); and pieces of litterature and ongoing work to my colleagues. If they had such boxes, we could save the hassle of multiple emails, or avoid the not-so-good, and not private, google docs interface.
