The year is 2016 AD. The whole web is occupied by centralized services… Well… not entirely. One small village of indomitable Free Software lovers still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Closedum, Centralizum, Trackum, and Proprietarum.
Google Docs, Skype, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, Google Agenda, Youtube, Doodle, Yahoo! Groups, and many others, are extremely convenient services but <strong>they have become far too large and have made us dependent on them</strong>. Framasoft wishes to resist this trend and is putting forward a roadmap for setting up alternative services over several years.
These services are free, gratis, open to all (insofar as our technical and financial capabilities allow us), as <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons" title="digital commons">digital commons</a></strong>. With the goal of decentralising the Internet and promoting self-hosting, we will do our best to ensure that everyone can install their own services (for themselves, for their organisation, or their company).
