Hi Folks, Following Scott's talk on free software social networks, I'd like to encourage people to try Pump.io. http://pump.io/ I find it a great way to keep up with a range of people in the free software community. I use a desktop client called Pumpa. I'm stumbles@identi.ca. I don't run a server myself, but I'm glad to know that I could if I wanted to. Regards, Ben

Few years ago I heard about diaspora, which, as far as I understand, is something similar. Are there anyone who know something about it? -- Mick

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump.io I used to think that pump.io was just a replacement for Twitter, but according to Wikipedia: # However, while StatusNet offered functionality similar to Twitter, pump.io # offers much more general purpose social networking, and is being adopted by # other types of web applications, such as MediaGoblin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(social_network) Diaspora seems to be designed as a distributed replacement for Facebook. It's really hard to install, has lots of dependencies (many of which weren't in Debian last time I tried) and is generally difficult. It would be good to have a FSM talk about these things, did the talk last month (that I missed) cover them specifically or just more general stuff? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

There is work on getting proper Debian packages: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/11/msg01103.html That was November 2014, No idea what the current progress is, or if there is an ITP or not.
