Is anyone planning on attending the conference? I'd really like to see
some recordings or notes, it seems like a very interesting meeting of
minds.

Hello, hackers'n'artists!
"Facebook makes everyone believe There Is No Alternative,
but Unlike Us dares to differ."
We are showcasing our prototype secushare.org application,
a cross-platform end-to-end-encrypted communication and data
exchange tool; independent and obscured from servers, yet
making use of them, thus more elaborate than regular peer-
to-peer technology.
The UnlikeUs is about understanding social media monopolies
and their alternatives. secushare is being featured as such
an alternative in the making, in a grand opening showcase
this Thursday. If you happen to be in Amsterdam, register
for a free visit at rsvp[at]networkcultures[dot]org.

for the full conference program, including project and
speaker presentations. It looks fabulous!
I, Carlo v. Loesch, am also invited to a debate on
"Pitfalls of Building Social Media Alternatives" where it
is probably my job to dismantle the myth of usefulness
related to server-based social technology - how good is
your alternative social network, if you can't trust the
server it runs on? Even if you own it? And what in the
world can be good about scattering private data over
dozens of servers in a federation? The entire paradigm
social alternatives have been working on, is broken.
If you know PSYC, PSYC's new implementation in C is the higher
social messaging layer in the secushare architecture. GNUnet
fulfills lower-level obfuscation and routing jobs, a bit like
Tor does, but more efficiently. PSYC can be compared to XMPP
or JSON over HTTP, only it is on average a dozen times more
efficient than either of those.
We'd like to thank the UnlikeUs team for inviting us over
and are looking forward to a thrilling conference experience!
