A community will evolve only when a people control their own communications. - Franz Fanon

Welcome to Project Danube.

This is an open code and advocacy project in the field of identity and personal data services on the Internet. It reflects ongoing discourse about political and social questions about anonymity vs. veronymity, centralization vs. decentralization, and the appropriate handling of personal data online.

We are building the XDI2 open source project as a basis for personal clouds, personal channels, and the Respect Network.

See https://github.com/peacekeeper/xdi2

We are helping to promote the FreedomBox in Austria, Europe, and around the world.
