OpenAutonomy is a protocol facilitating decentralized social networking and web service. Although the social networking site is still in its infancy, the idea is to build a distributed, federated, extensible web platform to compete with the current "walled gardens" approach. The idea is to break the boundaries between services/servers and web/native and allowing everything to inter-operate with an emphasis on: extensibility, innovation, privacy, and freedom.
OpenAutonomy Applications/Use-Cases
OpenAutonomy currently has four innate applications which lend themselves to several use-cases where users are in full control of their content with the use of trust groups: a social networking application , an event application which is used to announce events and add photos from those events, a personal cloud storage of 5 gigabytes, the ability to add personal and general RSS feeds from any XMLs on the web which are updated automatically into your feed.
Anyone can run an OpenAutonomy server or extend the capabilities of existing servers and applications by defining their own application protocols.[2]
