+<h2>Toward a GNU Consensus on Free Software for Social Networking</h2>
+
+<p><a href="/consensus">GNU/consensus</a> is an umbrella project to
+facilitate coordination of free software social networking projects to
+encourage freedom, privacy, public space, and decentralization. </p>
+
+<h3>Introduction</h3>
+
+<p>Over the last decade, we've seen the emergence of centralized
+   commercial services for online social networking. These services
+   are dedicated to surveillance of their users, and threaten free
+   speech, privacy, and the end-to-end Internet. They tend to reduce
+   the Internet from a public space to a private platform for
+   commercial interests.</p>
+
+<p>Various free software projects aim to provide decentralized
+   freedom-respecting alternatives to centralized corporate platforms.
+   The GNU/consensus hopes to facilitate these projects' working
+   together.</p>
+
+<h3>Free Software</h3>
+
+<p>As part of the GNU Project, GNU/consensus promotes and fosters
+   adoption of free software in the field of social networking. Using
+   the <a href="/licenses/gpl">GNU General Public License</a>
+   and the
+   <a href="/licenses/agpl">GNU Affero General Public License</a>,
+   developers can dedicate their code permanently to users'
+   freedom, and thus ensure it advances the public digital space.</p>
+
+<h3>Social Networking</h3>
+
+<blockquote>Some people conflate social networks, which are the
+   aggregate of relationships that humans have, with online social
+   network services such as Facebook and, arguably, G+"
+<br/>&mdash; <a href="http://www.rheingold.com/about/";>Howard Rheingold</a>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Too often, the term social network is used interchangeably with
+   social network services, implying that the services themselves
+   provide the social network. But that's plain wrong: the social
+   network is a human cultural phenomenon, and a network service
+   can at best facilitate it.</p>
+
+<h3>Decentralization</h3>
+
+<p>A centralized service, whether Facebook or its alternatives, is
+   expensive; to make money, it needs to monitor its users and sell
+   information about them.  Furthermore, states will compel the
+   service to hand over the data it collects about its users,
+   and laws generally give users few rights over data that they
+   have handed over to the service.</p>
+
+<p>Therefore, rather than proposing a more ethical centralized
+   service, GNU/consensus aims to encourage decentralized systems.
+   Ultimately we hope each user will have a server from which to share
+   her own personal information with others as she sees fit, managed
+   by free software fully under her own control.</p>
+
+<h3>Interoperability</h3>
+
+<p>Where commercial services embody a one-size-fits-all vision, the
+   GNU Consensus project recognizes the diversity of use-cases and
+   communities.</p>
+
+<p>Hence it fosters diversity in the approaches to social networking
+   support tools.</p>
+
+<h3>Anonymity</h3>
+
+<p>With interoperating free software social networking systems,
+   no user will be compelled to provide any particular kind of
+   information, whether it be her name, her age, or what country
+   she lives in.  It will be up to those she communicates with
+   to judge what information she chooses to provide or withhold.</p>
+
+<h3>Roadmap</h3>
+
+<p>Hereby we propose an initial roadmap, to be refined in conjunction
+   with the participating projects.</p>
+
+<h4>Distributed Networking</h4>
+
+<p>When the technology is ready, it makes sense to restore end-to-end
+   communications as the normal way to convey social networking
+   activity online.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="/software/gnunet">GNUnet</a> and <a
+href="http://www.secushare.org/";>Secushare</a> programs will
+eventually serve that purpose, by providing the transport mechanisms
+for each device on the network to become a fully-featured social
+networking service for its owner.</p>
+
+<h4 id="ostatus">OStatus Federation</h4>
+
+<p>In the meantime, decentralization can occur at community level:
+    each community can operate its own server, and federate its
+    contents with other communities using the <a 
href="http://ostatus.org/";>OStatus protocols</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Hence, the GNU/consensus project aims at coordinating the evolution of
+    these protocols through the active participation of developers
+    across projects to achieve complete interoperability for existing
+    and upcoming federated resources.</p>
+
+<p>We propose <a href="https://lorea.org/";>Lorea</a> as the initial
+    model implementation since it provides the most advanced OStatus
+    implementation to date. It's readily compatible with <a
+    href="http://status.net/";>StatusNet</a>, <a
+    href="http://joindiaspora.com/";>Diaspora*</a>, and <a
+    href="http://friendica.org/";>Friendica</a> implementations.[<a 
href="#footnote-1">1</a>]</p>
+
+<h4>Other federation protocols</h4>
+
+<p>The GNU Consensus considers OStatus the best current protocol
+   for federating social network services, but we will also consider
+   other protocols that become available. We invite developers to
+   present their developments to the GNU/consensus community for testing
+   and feedback.</p>
+
+<h4>Use Cases</h4>
+
+<p>Due to their similarity, free software social networking programs
+   face a whole lot of similar use cases. These should be clearly
+   defined and tests provided to ease implementation.</p>
+
+<p>But all programs are not equal: some will focus on desktop usage,
+   others on mobile devices; some on individual use, others on group
+   collaboration; some on always-on-connectivity, others on
+   eventually-connected-networks.</p>
+
+<h4>Threat Modeling</h4>
+
+<p>An important part of designing massively interactive programs
+   resides in the ability to provide a clear and sensible threat
+   model for that program.</p>
+
+<p>As many free software social networking programs encounter similar
+   issues, it makes sense to define comparable threat models. We
+   encourage projects to use the <a
+   href="http://octotrike.org/";>TRIKE methodology</a> to define the
+   threat model, and will provide tools and resources to do so.</p>
+
+<h3>Footnotes</h3>
+
+<p id="footnote-1"><a href="#ostatus" title="back to the OStatus
+section">^</a> This was true before the migration to Elgg 1.8. Now the
+federation is a bit broken, and should be fixed in the coming weeks.
