We should have a logo for the federated social networks. We should show that even if we are all separate projects, we are united through our principles (we should define as well). That logo should be a sign to show every user, that this project is part of a big idea and a dream we all share and we all want everybody to know. Therefore we need a logo where people are able to recognize that a project is part of that Unity.
Lets get serious and make The Federation real.
The principles could maybe something like : Decentral, Libre, Open, Freedom, Diversity, Privacy, etc.
Ideas for the principles and the logo are highly welcome. If somebody has an idea how to organize this, is highly welcome as well.
Maybe @Tobias and @Michael Vogel could take that idea as well to the 34C3?
@hoergen Cool! Where should I subscribe to get updates about this general Fediverse logo? :D Or is it going to be specifically the Federation (as in, 5 networks) logo?
@hoergen@Tobias First there should be more (formal) communication between the main developers to make decisions in a collaborative way. Now it's like they're fighting their own war by themselves separatedly.
@antonlopez I would (partly) disagree. I have a close contact to @Benjamin Neff from Diaspora and I'm in contact with @lain from Pleroma. And when I had problems with GNU Social, I got answer from @mmn as well.
Created a newschannel/Blog where I post news I collect on there. Subscribe via your account or via RSS feed and watch out for hashtag #fediverse or #TheFediverseIdea
@hoergen@Tobias I think it would be also good to have a declaration, signed by all projects who agree that federation between multiple networks is important and who agree to actively work on keeping the different solutions compatible and take issues about interoperability problems serious and prioritize them. Because at the moment it is hard to tell who is part of the federation, and even more important who is part of it by accident or by commitment.
