Re: [projectvrm] Wired article on Indie Box… Ownership vs Outcomes

[sylvain willart < >]

I haven't any idea where to start from. The only computer languages I know are R and SAS...

(BTW, among the software I put on my box are Agora Project and Zotero, for work collaboration, they're pretty cool)

Thanks, Sylvain, these are beautiful examples for where VRM meets Indie Box.

Let's build them all, shall we? Who's in? ;-)

>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.

these are the few things who come to my mind. And I didn't start to think of the IoT implications (maybe cause I don't own actual connected object... yet), nor Rifkin's personal energy market.

Tell me more about this, please?

Thanks,
