an idea.
Every freedombox has some unique identifier or even a profile whitch
could be so " annonymous" as the user want,
it could be like a Vcard, avatar/profilepict , with public keys, tags,
information about the user what he "likes" or is "interested" in.
Remember it should be social !! ....;)
This information could be retrieved via an url for e.g. ://
marxbox.freedom
Keep in mind that a freedombox can be used from several different
people.
So this start dialog is nesessary after reboot or user change.
Then you hit the "connect to freedom " button and you will be
connected to a kind of "opendirectory " ? or some sort of thing
where you see all the connected freedomboxes in realtime and can
browse/explore or search them
I believe its absolutly unpracticle to exchange "keys" in real life
because most of us might possibly never meet because
we life on a different continent, in a different timezone , or speak
another language. (But of course it should be optional )
So we can browse the "freedombox directory" for services and
information and request a "connenction" with another freedombox,
these "peered" boxes we categorise in different "colored circles" or
whatver cloud symbols to relations like ,
( my computer enthusiasts , my cricket club, my whisteblowers , my
chinese connection .e.t.c )
So we use a centalised "meeting point / rendevous server" ( identity
provider? maybe to verify the software compactibility also )
for first connect or to explore NEW freedomboxes when we want to grow
our network. (maybe we could display connectivity data/ranking so
everybody who wants to connect to a specific box could see how much
"worth" a conenction is , depending if the box is connected to a
fibrewire network for example or just connected via a 56k modem
AND
build an independent peer 2 peer network from our personal relations
and connenction, whitch could be totally independent if we have enough
"neighbours " and thruput......So our network getting faster and
better and more reliable with any connection we make :)
