You mean [ilided]? CC really ain't much of a social club. People use
the licenses instrumentally and expressively, and both accomplish
much.
hahahah ;) waiting for @mlinksva on that one ;)

That last is an awesome quote!

The action is in building and deploying software. This list just has a
limited role, and that's fine. There isn't much of a place for
thinking about cloud, services, blah issues outside of the corporate
buzzword bubble and informed by free software; I think that's valuable
in itself. So yeah, blog posts and hanging out. So long as lots more
people ape Evan and actually build faif stuff that federates.

Yeah, aping Evan is a good thing. Status.Net has done some good things!
http://ostatus.org and
http://federatedsocialweb.net are great! (tooting own horn or something ;)
Agree mike, good to hang, but think there can be more, but we shouldn't get too crazy with expectation.
Autonomo.us Free Network Services Certification and that wishlist of projects is still not implemented completely ;)
Personally, with all projects came to conclusion a few years ago have to make stacks of cash as successful biz to prove our model is better and/or get more people onto this line of thinking of ethical practices that support user freedom and autonomy.
There is way too much pressure on Status.Net to tow this line han solo. We need more Autonomo.us services and businesses :)
