Projects like:
👌 #ForgeFed (https://forgefed.org)
👌 and #OpenCloudMesh (https://nlnet.nl/project/OpenCloudMesh/) show what the internet could be: open and federated, not locked in.

But if public organizations don’t support and invest in this, who will?

A city thrives on connections. But imagine a city owned by 1 company, where residents are customers it would resist building roads to competing cities.

The digital world is no different.

Public institutions must demand, build and use neutral & open infra‼️

What if sharing (private) maps was as easy as sharing files between Nextcloud instances?

For the last few months I've been working on a federated protocol for sharing maps based on #opencloudmesh and #ogcapi

Open Cloud Mesh

Open Cloud Mesh (OCM) is a server federation protocol that is used to notify a Receiving Party that they have been granted access to some Resource. It has similarities with authorization flows such as OAuth, as well as with social internet protocols such as ActivityPub and email. A core use case of OCM is when a user (e.g., Alice on System A) wishes to share a resource (e.g., a file) with another user (e.g., Bob on System B) without transferring the resource itself or requiring Bob to log in to System A. While this scenario is illustrative, OCM is designed to support a broader range of interactions, including but not limited to file transfers. Open Cloud Mesh handles interactions only up to the point where the Receiving Party is informed of their access to the Resource. Actual Resource access is subsequently managed by other protocols, such as WebDAV.

Volgende week op #WorldStandardsDay vertel ik tijdens de Dag van de Interoperabiliteit van het @forumstandaardisatie over #OpenCloudMesh (OCM).

Dit is een open standaard waarmee bestanden gedeeld kunnen worden tussen onafhankelijke clouds, zonder centrale tussenpartij. Ontstaan in 2015 bij GÉANT, gedragen door CS3.org (CERN, SURF, SWITCH, Nextcloud e.a.).

Federatie, maar dan echt 🥷🏿

I'm currently working on an implementation of the federated file sharing protocol #opencloudmesh used by #owncloud #nextcloud #seafile and more

This is my first #rust library so I'd be happy to know if I'm making any rookie mistakes 😅

I just came across this. If you want a private cloud that actually works and meets highest standards and expectations, then you should #GoOwnCloud! @ownclouders ! Nice to see that reference... #openmesh #ocm #owncloud #OpenCloudMesh

propose some changes to the OCM API to move forward to a version 1.0 by schiessle · Pull Request #37 · GEANT/OCM-API

some of you might remember my talk at the last CS3 conference where I presented Nextcloud's plans to implement the OCM API. As I already mentioned there and discussed with multiple stakeholders...
