This may or may not entirely agree with what you mean, but: I'd like my FreedomBox to be my command center for the cloud.

It may itself be a service provider in a web of computers (eg. I run Wordpress in my house on port 80). But, I'd also like mine to be a private node that orchestrates the use of things like Amazon S3, Rackspace, Nearly Free Speech, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Correct: That absolutely does not at all agree with what I mean.

Orchestrating centralized services from home may be cloud computing, but not a silverlining of it and thus unrelated to FreedomBox!

Yeah, I figured we disagreed on that.

Personally, I think there's a spectrum / gradual path of cloud control to be had, i.e.: from Facebook user; to FreedomBox user publishing to Facebook; to FreedomBox user publishing to other FreedomBoxes. Skipping the middle step might be a missed opportunity to bridge people across.
