Who are we?
 We are a community of diaspora users and contributors from the early days of diaspora.

  • Nandaja and Praveen helps in making diaspora easy to install (packaging of diaspora for debian) - Stage setters
  • Hrishikesh - Diaspora prophet/The Pied Piper of Diaspora.
  • Ashokan - Cinematography

  • Praseetha, Akshay, Labeeb and Hiran - Creators of color
 Why this campaign is important
  • Diaspora  is a culture. A culture against the loss of personal privacy by the  corporate social network giants. Diaspora enables us to keep one's data  with himself/herself and provides the flexibility to select the  shareable data. When the data is stored in his/her local machines and  not on a single central server, it provides the utmost security to  users.
  • Diaspora, being a distributed  system, is actually a network of multiple instances of the software  Diaspora. These instances are called pods. You can think of it like a  mobile service provider or an email provider.
  • One of the oldest and biggest Diaspora pod, poddery.com is at the verge of closing down.
  • This campaign is trying to prevent this calamity and protect the diversity. To prevent poddery from closing down so as to refuel the diaspora idea.
  • We are planning to adopt poddery.com from its current guardian and host it ourselves.
 
 What your contributions mean to us
Your  contribution is literally the fuel we need to keep this motor running.  Without that, poddery.com is dead, taking with it the credibility of  Diaspora culture. Your contributions will surely make history, the  history of a war between a david called privacy and corporate goliath.  Your contributions are goliath's pebbles. Provide them and be a part of this history.
 
What We Need
